heres a lil wiki of her

Kathryn Hudson(born on October 25, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. She is most notable for her singles, "Ur So Gay", released in 2007, and the song, "I Kissed a Girl", which was released in 2008, by Capitol Records.

Early career

In 2004, Perry became an in-house vocalist for the record production team The Matrix, who had previously worked with Avril Lavigne, Liz Phair, and Britney Spears, among others. Perry also began working on a debut mainstream album, writing with Glen Ballard, which was due for release in 2005; some of the collaborations included "Box" and "Diamonds," which were released on Perry's official MySpace page. Her burgeoning music career led to her being named "The Next Big Thing" in October 2004 in Blender Magazine, where Perry stated she wasn't "a typical Christian", mentioning that she had done "lots of bad things" during her adolescence.One of the tracks she recorded with Ballard, "Simple", was released on the soundtrack of the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ("Simple"), She has openly talked about her struggles within the music industry, such as being dropped from record labels for much of her early career. Her songs eventually captured the attention of Virgin Records CEO Jason Flom, who was the head of Capitol Music Group, and she signed to Capitol Music in early-2007. Perry is now regularly heard on MTV, VH1, as well as commercials.

Capitol Records

After signing to Capitol Records, Perry began recording for her official mainstream debut album, released in 2008, working with Greg Wells (OneRepublic, Mika), Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne), Butch Walker (Pink, The Donnas), Max Martin (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, The Veronicas) and Cathy Dennis (Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue). The full length album titled One of the Boys was released in the USA on June 17, 2008.

The album was preceded by a digital EP in late 2007, entitled "Ur So Gay", produced by and co-written with Greg Wells (OneRepublic, Mika). A video for the song premiered in early 2008, and brought Perry to the attention of Madonna, who mentioned her on 104.7 KISS FM's JohnJay & Rich morning show in the Phoenix area, stating that "Ur So Gay" was her "favourite song right now as well as another mention on Ryan Seacrest's Morning Show. "Ur So Gay" has been criticized for apparent homophobia

On April 29, 2008, her first official single from One of the Boys, "I Kissed a Girl", debuted on the iTunes Store. The song was co-written with Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Cathy Dennis and debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #76, climbing to #2 as of June 18, 2008. It has peaked on iTunes Top 100 at #1, as of June 3, 2008. The music video for "I Kissed a Girl" was released on May 21, 2008 on MySpace. The song has generated controversy due to its popularity with children and its depiction of sexuality, homosexuality, and/or promiscuity[15], though as Slant Magazine concludes, the song, "isn't problematic because it promotes homosexuality, but because its appropriation of the gay lifestyle exists for the sole purpose of garnering attention—both from Perry's boyfriend and her audience."

In addition, she has had songs from the album featured on MTV's series, The Hills ("Self Inflicted" and "Thinking Of You"), on Oxygen Network's reality series, Fight Girls, and on the 2008 film Baby Mama ("Fingerprints"). She was also featured on P.O.D.'s 2006 single "Goodbye for Now".

As an actress, she made a cameo appearance on Carbon Leaf's video "Learn to Fly" and on Gym Class Heroes' video "Cupid's Chokehold".[16] On March 10, 2008, she appeared as herself on ABC Family's Wildfire (episode titled "Life's Too Short"). She has appeared in advertisements for Too Faced Cosmetics' Spring 2007 line. On June 12, Perry appeared as herself on the popular daytime soap opera, The Young & The Restless, and on MTV's TRL.
