About the same time in the early 2000s, Dr. Luke narrowed down hundreds of demo tapes to two notable ones having to decide on which artist to adopt to his imprint. He chose Ke$ha for her bravado over Katy Perry (who would go on to work him eventually anyway).
Katy Perry started her music career as Katy Hudson, a Nashville teen singing gospel in her parents' church. Local musicians spotted her vocal talents and under their tutelage, Hudson learned the craft songwriting and how to play the guitar and recorded demos. She signed with Christian label Red Hill Records and released her debut in 2001 at the age of seventeen. Katy impressed Christian rock critics with her songwriting and vocal talents (though both are muddled by her impressions of 90s singer-songwriters), but the album failed commercially selling less than 200 copies. Soon after the release and accompanying tour, Katy was dropped from Red Hill (as a result of going under) and moved to Los Angeles for new opportunities.
Here is the discography surrounding Katy Hudson's debut album:
