"I was friends with Katy Perry

Her name is Katy Hudson. Before she did pop music she was a Christian artist. My friends dad was her manager and she went to my church. She was an awesome person who truly had an amazing voice. Our youth group at the time would listen to her songs and we actually had a listening party to help decide what would go on her final album. Her Christian album tanked. Mostly because she was way ahead of her time as far as sound goes. She was writing a lot of her own stuff at the time and she was really talented. Really she was too talented to be pigeon-holed in such a strange genre. When her album kind of flopped she moved back to California and would return on occasion, but she changed a lot and you could see it in her. I think the last time I saw her personally was 2002-2003. Next time I heard from her was when I kissed a girl came out. I remember sitting at work and it came on the radio and instantly recognized the voice (seriously listen to her sing, she has a very unique voice) they said her name after the song was over and I looked her up and made the connection. It was probably one of the strangest moments of my life. To think at one point in time I ate pizza in a closet with her. She's good people and I tell everyone that."
