Katy Perry
Katheryn
Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry,
is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Perry grew up with gospel music,
and during her first year of high school she pursued a music career as Katy
Hudson, releasing her first studio album called Katy Hudson which failed to
chart. She recorded a solo album later, which was never released. After signing
with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she
adopted the stage name Katy Perry.
She
first gained recognition with the release of her first mainstream album, One of
the Boys in 2008, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"I
Kissed A Girl", "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas".
Perry supported the album with her Hello Katy Tour. In 2010, her third studio
album, Teenage Dream (2010), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned
five number one singles—"California Gurls", "Teenage
Dream", "Firework", "E.T." and "Last Friday Night
(T.G.I.F.)"—Teenage Dream was the only album (after Michael Jackson's
Bad)—to do so, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone. She
embarked on the California Dreams Tour, which grossed nearly $60 million
worldwide. Perry re-released the album under the name of Teenage Dream: The
Complete Confection on March 26, 2012, and the re-release has already spawned
the number-one single "Part of Me".
Perry
is the only artist to spend over 52 consecutive weeks in the top ten of the
Billboard Hot 100, and has since heightened this to 69 weeks. As of 2012, Perry
has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards. She was named 2011's "Artist
of the Year" by MTV. She has sold 37.6 million digital tracks in the
United States and 11 million albums worldwide. Perry was a guest judge on the
seventh series of The X Factor UK and the ninth season of American Idol. She
has released fragrances "Purr" and "Meow". She ventured
into film, voicing Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs. Perry was married to
British comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.
