Living With A Rigorously Religious Family and How it All Started:

Katy Perry, in her biography, says was born into a very religious family and so she wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music at all and simply listened to gospel music. Her parents, pastors Mary Christine and Maurice Keith Hudson were both pastors after having settled down after a wild youth.

She had an older sister and a younger brother and the family struggled financially for a good amount of time, eating foot stamp and sometimes eating at the congregation of her parent’s church. She fell in love with music at an early age though and started singing at her parent’s church. In her home, she was only allowed to listen to religious gospel music but she soon started listening to secular music by listening to CDs with her friends.

Her brother describes her as a bit of a tomboy as a child and she wanted to live her life like a normal California girl and started rebelling against her parents and created a Gospel record by the name of Katy Perry Hudson, before the record fell through and her music reached very few people (less than 200), but she wasn’t ready to give up of-course and decided to move to LA to record secular music. Now, Katy Perry doesn’t associate with any religion but says that she prays from time to time to calm herself.
