Katy Perry

Katy Perry, born as Katy Hudson in 1984 in the month of October, used to be a Christian singer who decided to concentrate on pop and rock music combined, with her influences being: Lilly Allen, Alanis Morissette, and Avril Lavigne. It was just last year (2008) when Perry became prominent in the music scene. Raised in California, in the town of Santa Barbara, Perry lived in a Christian household, given that her parents are both pastors. Even though Perry was prohibited to music aside from Christian songs, Freddie Mercury’s and Alanis Morissette’s hits caught her attention during a slumber party she attended with her friends. Christian music, however, remained as her main focus. In fact, in 2001, Perry came up with her self-titled album: “Katy Hudson” composed of Christian tracks. Eventually, however, she decided to move away from that genre as well as her real surname in order for her to pursue a career in pop music. As early as age 17, Perry began her collaboration with Glen Ballard, who was able to produce records and co-write songs for Alanis Morrisette’s 1995 Jagged Little Pill, which was indeed a chart-topper. After a few years, Perry worked with the Matrix, a team of producers/songwriters that had a Grammy nomination, and have worked in partnership with well-known artists like Shakira, Korn, and many others.

Pink

Alecia Beth Moore ( Pink ) was born the 8th of September, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in the family of a Vietnam veteran and a nurse. Even as a child she was very rebellious and was in a continuous quest of identity. Hence, she underwent a lot of phases: she was into skateboarding, was a rave child and even a hip hop fan. So it's safe to say that she's always searched for new ways of expressing herself. And ultimately she discovered the power of music. A child prodigy (well, more or less), she was already singing in night clubs at the ripe age of fourteen. A couple of years later, she became part of an R&B band, called Choice, which eventually disbanded. So, Pink became a solo singer and her stage name sprung from one of the characters' name in Tarantino's 1992 'Reservoir Dogs'. In the beginning she was a back singer for artists like Diana Ross, 98 Degrees and some other musicians that are not even half as famous as she is today.
