Quote:
Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California, USA. The middle child of two pastors,[1] she grew up listening to gospel music and singing in church.[3] After Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp signed Perry to their label Red Hill Records, she released her first CD Katy Hudson in 2001, a Christian gospel album.[4] According to several Christian radio stations, Katy Perry's most recent album One of The Boys has raised a considerable amount of controversy as her single "I Kissed A Girl" deals with same-sex issues that conflict with her Christian upbringing; on the other hand, the single "Ur So Gay" has been interpreted as being homophobic for its derogatory use of the word "gay". In her teenage years, Perry found a Queen album with her friend, "From then on, they have been my biggest influence".[5] Also among her musical influences are Alanis Morissette[6] as well as Heart and Joni Mitchell.[7] Perry changed her surname to Perry because "Katy Hudson" was too close to Kate Hudson.[8] Perry was her mother's maiden name.[1]
