Katy Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California, is a global pop phenomenon known for her anthemic songs, distinctive voice, and dynamic stage presence. Perry first burst onto the music scene with her 2008 hit single "I Kissed a Girl" from her second album, "One of the Boys," which marked her transformation from gospel singer Katheryn Hudson to pop star Katy Perry. Her career skyrocketed with the success of her next album, "Teenage Dream" (2010), which produced an unprecedented string of number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Firework," "California Gurls," and the title track.

Since then, Perry has consolidated her status as one of the music industry's leading artists through a series of successful records and singles. She has not only become known for her catchy tunes but also for her colorful, often whimsical style and her willingness to engage with serious topics in her work, showcasing both variety and depth. Despite the evolving music landscape, Perry's recent releases such as "Electric," a collaboration with Pokémon for its 25th anniversary, and "When I’m Gone," a dance-infused track with Alesso, demonstrate her adaptability and sustained popularity. Katy Perry remains a force in the world of pop music, known for her empowering messages and a continual penchant for experimentation and reinvention in her sound and visuals.
