Edgy and non-typically including herself in the good girl image, Katy Perry may be one great example of the future musician. Born Katheryn Hudson on October 25, 1984 in a strict Christian family, Perry’s parents are two devoted pastors from Santa Barbara Calif. They directed their daughter into singing in churches or local restaurants. Perry said that her mother used to ban her from listening to what they call “secular music”. Thus, young Perry was apt in gospel music until one day during a slumber party she heard the voice of Freddie Mercury.1
Inspired by the Queen frontman’s style of singing she was “opened”to another possible side of music, although it was not until much later that this side of her will come out as her main music style. At the age of 15, the sheltered teen begins taking singing lessons and traveling to Nashville, where her parents have contacts in the gospel recording industry. She worked closely with songwriters. Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp of Red Hill Records signed her to the label to release her debut album which was self-titled while she used her name Katy Hudson. The album that contained Christian songs was released in 2001.
At 17, she met Glen Ballard who is responsible for the extreme success of Alanis Morissette in the album Jagged Little Pill. Citing Morissette as one of her influences, Perry found comfort in working with Ballard who then gave her necessary mentor. In 2004 she became the vocalist of The Matrix production team and recorded some songs with Ballard that made her dubbed “The Next Big Thing” by Blender magazine. Through her sessions with Ballard, Perry was heard by Capitol Music executive, Jason Flom who then agreed to sign her in spring 2007.
By being in the club, Perry was introduced to a number of renowned musicians. In November 2007 she offered free download of a song on her MySpace account. It was an instant hit, but it was the second single “I Kissed a Girl” that propelled her to chart success. The latter song was used in an episode of teen drama series Gossip Girl, thus prompting it to climb up the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 2.
活泼活泼且通常不将自已归于乖乖女形象,凯蒂·派瑞可以说树立了一个出色的未来音乐人榜样。派瑞本名凯瑟琳·哈德森,于1984年10月25日出生于一个严格的基督教家庭,她的父母是两名来自加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉的虔诚牧师。他们引导女儿在教堂或当地餐馆演唱。派瑞说她的妈妈曾经禁止她听他们所谓的“俗人音乐”。因此,小派瑞一直都演唱福音音乐,直到有一天在一个睡衣晚会上她听到了弗雷迪·墨丘利的声音。
受到这位皇后乐队主唱演唱风格的启发,她向另一种音乐“敞开了心扉”,虽然直到很久以后这种音乐才成为她主要的音乐风格。15岁时,这个备受呵护的少女开始接受歌唱训练并来到纳什维尔,在那里,她的父母与基督教音乐唱片界有联系。她和歌曲创作人紧密合作。红山唱片公司的史蒂夫·托马斯和珍妮弗·纳普把她签到公司旗下,准备发行她的首张同名专辑,此时她用的是本名凯蒂·哈德森。这张收录基督教音乐的专辑于2001年发行。
17岁时,她遇到了格伦·巴拉德(他促成了艾拉妮丝·莫莉塞特的专辑《小碎药丸》的巨大成功)。派瑞说莫莉塞特是对她产生影响的歌手之一,和巴拉德的合作令她十分舒心,巴拉德给了她必要的指导。2004年,她成为了《黑客帝国》制作团队的歌手,和巴拉德录制了一些歌曲,这些歌曲使她被美国知名音乐杂志《搅拌器》誉为“下一位巨星”。通过和巴拉德的合作,派瑞被Capital唱片公司总裁杰森·弗洛姆所知晓,2007年春天,他同意与派瑞签约。
在俱乐部里,派瑞被介绍给了许多著名的音乐人。2007年11月,她在她的MySpace账户上提供了一首歌曲的免费下载,迅速成为了热门单曲,而使她登上排行榜冠军宝座的是其第二支单曲《我吻了一个女孩》。后者还被用作青春连续剧《绯闻女孩》中的插曲,从而使它登上公告牌热门100单曲榜的第二位。
派瑞通过为如米卡、起跑线乐队等大牌歌星做开场表演来不断增加自己的现场体验。派瑞与Capital唱片公司签约,以她的首张流行乐专辑《花漾派对》为标志放弃了自己基督教音乐粉丝团,选择了主流音乐明星之路,这张未删节的专辑于2008年6月17日在美国各店铺发售,登上了热门专辑200排行榜的第九位。
她创作或是和别人共同创作了专辑中的每一支单曲,并凭借19世纪40年代美女造型、颇具争议的主题以及玩笑式的歌词掀起了巨大热潮。她对《EW》杂志说:“这些不是旨在引起争议的歌曲,这是我的真实生活,而我的生活是有点争议的。”
2009年获得一项格莱美最佳流行乐女歌手提名后,派瑞以一个巨大挺直的猫头发型和3D水果开始第一次备受关注的“你好,凯蒂!”巡演。他告诉美联社:“你会看到我穿戴各种各样的东西,”2月份,她还登上格莱美舞台在五颜六色的硕大水果中演唱《我吻了一个女孩》
派瑞于2010年8月推出了她的第二张流行乐专辑《少女梦》。专辑发行前就已经推出了两首主打单曲《加州女孩》和专辑同名单曲。两首单曲同周登上美国单曲排行榜前五位,使她成为热门单曲100排行榜52年来第十位有两首单曲同时进入该榜前五位的女歌手。在主打单曲《加州女孩》的强势下,她的第二张专辑登上了公告牌前200专辑榜的冠军宝座,并为她赢得了包括年度最佳专辑在内的四项格莱美提名。她告诉美联社:“真的非常有效果”,该专辑还因鼓舞人心的热门单曲《烟花》赢得了2011年格莱美年度最佳唱片提名。
凯蒂·派瑞还于2012年3月31日在洛杉矶赢得了美国儿童选择奖,在那个异彩纷呈的夜晚,她站在南加州大学Galen Center的舞台上献上了一场活力四射、中古风格的演唱。这位27岁歌手带来了许多戏剧效果,在演绎她的最新单曲《我的一部分》时,她挥舞着一把宝剑从台上走下来,紫色的长发在空中飞扬。
除了在2012年美国儿童选择奖颁奖典礼上献唱之外,派瑞小姐还是当晚的大赢家之一,虽然她并没有赢得任何音乐类的奖项。凯蒂带回家一座奖杯加入到她的奖杯收藏当中,她在动画电影《蓝精灵》中为精灵女配音被选为最受欢迎配音演员。她对人们说:“今天我还能在这里的唯一原因——请记住——是因为我从来没有长大。”
在所谓的橙色地毯上,凯蒂也留下了一些新消息。她说她的3D演唱会记录片《凯蒂·派瑞,我的一部分》将于7月4日那周在剧院上映。
凯蒂·派瑞选择推出自己的招牌香水“咕噜”,以融入一些个性并与其他明星推出的香水较量较量。她说碧昂丝·诺斯和金·卡戴珊是她的榜样。派瑞和Gigantic Parfums合作,积极地投入到她的香水事业发展中。在一次采访中,派瑞提到她因为喜欢猫所以创造了这一产
has said that the fragrance is “basically me in a bottle. I think a lot of people go up and they go, ‘That’s definitely Katy Perry. This is definitely Katy Perry’s perfume.’ ” Perry decided the name “Purr” seemed natural since it sounded like “perfume”, “perfect” and even “Perry”. Released in November 2010, it is available in a purple catshaped bottle. The perfume became the best-selling fragrance for the first nine weeks of its release.
She’s spent the past year on tour in a world covered with peppermints and cotton candy, and that saccharine inspiration has found its way into Katy Perry’s new scent Meow! Meow is the second fragrance from this American pop singer. The fragrance is announced as very sweet. The bottle design follows its feline-like predecessor. Katy, inspired by vintage milk vials, wanted the bottle to be opaque and pale pink.
The design of the pink, cat-shaped bottle was inspired in part by Perry’s youth. “I grew up going to flea markets, and all the vintage stores... in Los Angeles,” she explained. “I’d always look for milk glass—that beautiful, vintage milk glass that held candles, or salt and pepper. I definitely wanted to use it for Meow!.”
Though she’s entertained the idea of a third fragrance—named “Hiss,” she joked—Perry seems to have bigger plans—like a clothing line or accessory collection—in mind. But for now, she’s happy to make an impression through her two scents.
“I think that you can hear a song, and it’ll take you back to that moment, or that person, or that time in your life,” she explained. “Same thing with your sense of smell—it’s really powerful. So I thought I could make memories with people with Purr or Meow!.”
品,她说香水“基本上就是装在瓶子里的我,我想很多人走上前去,说,‘那肯定是凯蒂·派瑞,这肯定是凯蒂·派瑞的香水。’”派瑞很自然地决定把香水命名为Purr,因为这名字听上去很像perfume、perfect甚至Perry的发音。香水于2010年11月推出,装在一只猫咪形状的紫色瓶子里,香水推出后九周成为最热卖香水。
去年她的世界巡演是一个覆盖薄荷糖和棉花糖的世界,而这一甜美灵感一直延续到了凯蒂·派瑞新的香水“喵喵”中!“喵喵”是这位美国流行乐歌手推出的第二款香水。据称,这款香水非常甜。瓶子的设计向上一款香水一样用了猫咪的造型。受老式牛奶瓶的启发,凯蒂想让瓶子呈现不透明的淡粉色。
粉色猫咪状瓶子的设计灵感部分来源于派瑞的少女时代。“我是在逛洛杉矶跳蚤市场以及所有旧货店……中长大的。”她解释道,“我总是寻找乳白玻璃瓶,就是那种插蜡烛或是装盐和胡椒的漂亮的老式牛奶瓶,我很想用它来装‘喵喵’!”
虽然她第三款香水的想法——名叫“嘶嘶”,她开玩笑说——派瑞头脑中似乎有更大的计划——比如服装系列或是饰品系列。但目前,能通过她的两款香水给人们留下印象她已经很开心了。
“我想你能听到一首歌,它会把你带回那一刻或那个人或你生命中的那段时期,”她如是说,“你的嗅觉也是这样,这非常有效,所以我想‘咕噜’或‘喵喵’也能给人们留下回忆。”
