Katy Perry Biography

Edgy and non-typically including herself in the good girl image, Katy Perry may be one great example of the future musician. Born on October 25, 1984 in a strict Christian family, Perry was later known for her song "Ur So Gay". Her parents are two devoted pastors who directed their daughter into singing in churches or local restaurants. Perry said that her mother used to ban her from listening to what they call "secular music." Thus, young Perry was apt in gospel music until one day during a slumber party she heard the voice of Freddie Mercury.

Inspired by the Queen frontman's singing style, she was then opened up to another possible side of music, although it was not until much later that this side of her came out as her main music style. At the age of 15, Perry moved from her hometown of Santa Barbara, California to Nashville to work closely with songwriters. Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp later signed her to Red Hill Records to work on her debut album which used her real name "Katy Hudson". The set featured Christian songs and was released in 2001.
