Biography
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, known globally as Katy Perry, is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and television personality, renowned for her bold visuals, catchy anthems, and theatrical flair.
She was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Perry started out as a Christian gospel singer and at the age of sixteen, she released her first album, Katy Hudson (2001), under Red Hill Records. Despite the album’s lackluster sales, it was the first step toward her career as a professional musician.
At the age of seventeen, Perry relocated to Los Angeles to pursue secular music and took on the stage name Katy Perry, using her mother’s maiden name to avoid being confused with actress Kate Hudson.
Perry recorded an album with Columbia Records that was ultimately shelved, but perseverance paid off when she signed with Capitol Records, setting the stage for her breakout.
Perry became well-known around the world after releasing her album One of the Boys in 2008, which included the controversial and number-one singles “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold.” These songs launched her to the top of the pop music scene, indicating a daring new presence characterized by memorable hooks, humorous lyrics, and a lively style.
Her 2013 album Prism featured singles like “Roar” and “Dark Horse,” as well as a more introspective and empowerment-focused tone. She became the first artist to have multiple videos on Vevo and YouTube exceeding one billion views, and both songs peaked at number one in the United States.
On December 29, 2021, Perry launched the Play musical engagement at Resorts World Las Vegas. She was inspired by Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, and the show was born during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
She joined Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez on Blue Origin NS-31, the company’s eleventh crewed space trip under the New Shepard program, which launched on April 14, 2025. Since 1963, this was the first all-female space trip.
