Katy Perry Biography

Raised by parents whom were two devoted pastors, Katy Perry grew up with a very religious background. Perry was born on October 25, 1984 and her parents lead her into singing gospel music. She sang in churches and local restaurants. With strict parents, she was banned from what they called “secular music,” by her mother. She was then inspired by the voice of Freddy Mercury, at a slumber party, and thus introducing her to a whole new spectrum of possibilities in the music realm. She would later discover her own music style. When she was 15 she moved to Nashville (where her parents had contacts in the gospel recording industry) from her birth place/home town, Santa Barbra, to work with songwriters.

Alanis Morissette’s fame from her extremely successful album, Jagged Little Pill, can be credited to Glen Ballard, and when Katy Perry was 17 they were introduced. Working with Ballard, Perry found comfort, thus Morissette became one of her noted influences, a necessary mentor. She went on to become part of the Matrix Team in 2004 as a vocalist, and was even proclaimed, “The Next Big Thing,” by Blender Magazine with some of the songs recorded with Ballard. Jason Flom, an executive,  from Capitol Music, agreed to sign Katy Perry in Spring 2007 because of her sessions with Ballard.
