Katy Perry

A famous artist Katy Perry was welcomed in California to very religious parents, who are pastors. That’s why a future star began singing in a church choir at the age of 9 and kept doing it until she turned 17. Also, the celebrity has two siblings. All the kids were raised in a strict manner and were not allowed to listen to modern music. However, Katy managed to do that with the help of her school friends. She loved listening to Queen, Nirvana and other then-popular bands. At 15 a young starlet already knew who she wanted to be and that’s why she left school to pursue a career in the music industry. She studied in a musical academy in Nashville, then took lessons from country-musicians and began doing her own demo versions of songs.

The beginning of Perry’s path wasn’t successful at all, as her singles and a debut album simply failed. Nonetheless, she didn’t give up and in 2008 released a song I Kissed a Girl that immediately became a real sensation. After that she kept introducing one song after the other one with each of them being extremely successful.

In 2015, Forbes included her in the list of the highest-paid artists with a net worth of over 135 million dollars.

In addition to music, she signed a contract with Moschino, having become their official face.

And now it is time for the top 5 surprising facts about the star:

• In 2018 she was a judge at the American Idol.
• She is a gay activist.
• She loves rope jumping to keep the body fit.
• She has a cat named Kitty Purry.
