Katy Perry Lyrics & Ringtones

Known to the world as Katy Perry, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California) is a singer/songwriter and musician known for her pop music's flirtatious and controversial lyrics as well as her unconventional style in which she incorporates vintage fashion, bright colors and fruit. Katy uses her mother's maiden-name, Perry, for the stage, after deciding her birth name was too close to famous actress, Kate Hudson's. Growing up with pastors for parents, Perry was raised listening to gospel music and studying Italian opera; in fact, her 2001 self-titled debut album was of the Christian genre - something one may not guess while listening to her breakout, Grammy-nominated single, "I Kissed A Girl." The provocative hit song was released on her platinum-selling 2007 commercial debut album, One Of The Boys, along with the equally popular, multiplatinum single, "Hot N Cold." Katy Perry's noted musical influences include many 80s pop rock stars such as Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, and Cyndi Lauper, as well as the late Queen front-man, Freddie Mercury.
