Born on 25th October 1984 in Santa Barbara, South California, Katy later discovered her singing talents through the church and listening to Gospel music. Soon she found herself in Nashville, Tennessee – the home of Country Rock music. She was signed to a small indie label and recorded a Gospel Rock album under her original name Katy Hudson.

After several knock backs, she changed her name to Katy Perry and suddenly found fame with the controversial hit record ‘I Kissed A Girl’. This launched her into the mainstream and after gaining major support from the press and radio, soon followed up with her platinum selling album ‘One Of The Boys’ in 2008.

Later that year Katy won ‘Best New Act’ at the European MTV Awards and in 2009 was proud to receive a BRIT award for ‘Best International Female’. This rise to fame allowed her to headline her own Katy Perry Tour in 2009, titled ‘Hello Katy’ which was her first ever worldwide tour around North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. In 2010 she released her brand new single ‘California Gurls’, featuring rapper Snoop Dogg, that hit no.1 in the Billboard ...
... Charts. This propelled her even further into the stratosphere. The ‘Teenage Dream’ single and album soon followed in July 2010, followed by the 3nd single ‘Firework’.
