Katy Perry is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Perry rose to fame in 2007 with her internet hit "Ur So Gay", and later scored in 2008 her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl".

Born in California to pastor parents, Perry grew up listening to gospel music and singing in church. Later on, she began with an on-and-off recording career, having been dropped three times by record labels. After signing to Capitol Music Group in 2007, she released her first mainstream album, One of the Boys. It contains the worldwide hits "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot N Cold", both certified three-time platinum in the United States. She is known for wearing unconventional style of dress, often combining colors and vintage fashion, as well as associating outfits with fruits.

Born October 25, 1984, her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Wood Rat. The gentle Rat sign combined with the gentle element Wood yields a sensitive Rat who is also the most creative of the breed. She needs the warmth and comfort of her close inner circle. Left to her own devices she can become insecure and lose her air of self confidence. Nevertheless, she is usually a joy to be around and well-loved by friends and family.
