The beginnings of Katy Perry's musical career can be traced back to her childhood. Gospel music was the cornerstone of her existence at that time, and Katy Perry sang in her church from the time she was nine to sixteen years of age. Going by her real name of Katy Hudson back then, she put out a self-titled gospel album when she was fifteen. The album failed to do well and her record label soon went belly up.
Unfortunately, Katy Perry had bad luck in that respect for a number of years thereafter, being dropped by two separate record labels. Finally, in 2007 Katy Perry signed with Capitol Records. Her luck was about to change in a big way.
One of the Boys was released the summer of 2008, riding the momentum of a huge lead-off single by the name of I Kissed a Girl. The single topped the charts in more than a dozen countries and helped propel the album to Number Nine on the Billboard Hot 200. She subsequently landed a spot on the Vans Warped Tour, and in the beginning of 2009 headlined the Hello Katy Tour, her first such venture.
Not one to be shy about things, Katy Perry has created a unique public image by wearing colorful clothes, accessorizing her clothes with props such as fruit, and coming up with song titles that are just a tad bit uncomfortable for some people. All these things, plus pop music loaded with hooks, have helped Katy Perry become a pop star.
