Katy Perry (Birth Name:- Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. With an exploitative debut single like "I Kissed a Girl" (not to mention its less successful predecessor "Ur So Gay"), Katy Perry had all the makings of a typical one-hit wonder. Flash forward almost three years, and Katy Perry has managed to establish herself as one of the best selling female artists in the world.
