Chapter 139

Catherine Elizabeth Hudson was born in Santa Barbara, California. Her father Maurice Keith Hudson and mother Mary Christie Perry are Pentecostal pastors. Her parents were born again as Christians and believed in God after spending "wild youth".

Katie Perry is of Portuguese, German, Irish and British descent. When she was 3 to 11 years old, Perry often traveled all over the country to start a church with her parents until she settled in Santa Barbara again.

She spent her study life in various Christian schools. For a time, her family was in financial difficulties and lived on food rolls and food storage provided by her parents' church.

Since childhood, the main contact with music is gospel music, because listening to secular music at home is usually discouraged by family members. Her music enlightenment was to discover pop music through several CDs stolen from a friend's house.

Perry had a tortuous way of studying music. When she was young, she could only learn to sing with her sister's video. She received her first guitar on her thirteenth birthday and began to perform her songs.

In addition to music, she also likes roller skating, skateboarding and surfing. Her family calls her "tomboy". During this period, she also participated in dance courses and learned swing dance, Lindy dance and git bugger dance.

Perry, 15, met the requirements of the general education development certificate, left high school and began to pursue the path of music. One day I studied Italian opera at the Western Conservatory of music in Santa Barbara.

In 1999, her singing attracted the attention of Nashville, Tennessee rock artists Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp, who brought her to Nashville to improve her creative level.

In Nashville, she began recording sample records, learning to write songs and play the guitar. After signing with Hongshan disc, Perry recorded his first album, Katie Hudson.

This album was released in 2001 and did not succeed. It only sold about 200. It was not successful commercially, but the album was positively praised by music critics.

In December of the same year, Perry terminated his contract with the brand. From gospel music to secular music, Perry came to Los Angeles at the age of 17 and began writing songs with producer green Ballard.

This year, in order to avoid confusion with Kate Hudson, she once performed under the stage name of Catherine Perry, and later took her mother's maiden name and the stage name of Katie Perry.

Last month, under the lead of green Ballard, matrix and the Grammy nominated music production team planned to record their album and be one of their two lead singers. Unfortunately, the project was shelved for some reasons.

At this time, George was helping Tracy attract talents. When green Ballard was recommended, George went directly to the door.

George, the agent who has been wandering in Hollywood for many years, naturally doesn't have to talk about Kung Fu. In addition, he has Tracy as the gold owner as the backing, so he persuaded the gold medal producer green Ballard to join Tracy's music company without much trouble.

Green Ballard's studio was naturally acquired by pineapple records, and George promised him great autonomy. By accident, sister fruit, who has a contract with green Ballard, joined pineapple records as an accessory.

Green Ballard is a real gold producer. In 1995, he won the Grammy "best rock album" and "album of the year" with the jagged little pill of Alanis Morissette, which was co created and produced, and was rated as the 500 greatest albums of all times by rolling stone.

He also worked with Michael Jackson many times and participated in the creation and production of Michael Jackson's thriller, danger and bad. He has also worked with many famous singers, including Shakira, Wilson Phillips, Christina Aguilera and so on.

Pineapple records, more than 1000 square feet of luxury recording studio.

Tracy is recording his single that girl here.

After coming to the company, I didn't see sister fruit for the first time, but was directly pulled by George to the studio.

Everything was arranged by George, just waiting for Tracy to record the song. Meeting the new producer and singer must be after recording the song. He knows too much about the boss's character. In case he meets someone and talks about the rise of conversation, the recording of the song will be ruined.

Tracy's coming to the company is not easy. He promised to record songs a month or two ago. He hasn't come to the studio until now.

George doesn't want him to be distracted from anything else. He must record the single.

About two months after its establishment, the company spent a lot of money to build signboards and attract talents in various departments, and spent millions to build such a luxurious recording studio.

But the recording studio is like a decoration. It's outrageous that no song has been out of here since it was completed.

To put it bluntly, the company lacks talents and decent singers, let alone pillars. Only George knew that his boss could be a pillar of the company, but he was too lazy.

Tracy recorded both sides, and the effect was not very good. He didn't systematically learn vocal music, and he still lacked in pronunciation. When singing, he basically relied on his feelings to give full play to his advantages on the sound line.

The recording studio outside made an OK gesture to him. Tracy nodded slightly, looked at the score, listened to the accompaniment in the headphones, silently recited the beat, one, two, three and opened his mouth.

There'sagirlbutIlethergetaway.

It'sallmyfaultcausepridegotintheway.

The recorder frowned slightly, shook his head gently, and said to the microphone, "let's do it again."

"Poof... Cluck, he's slow again. Is this the amateur level of our company's singers?"

Tracy shrugged regretfully and prepared to do it again. Katie Perry, who was standing outside watching, whispered to her teacher green Ballard. The voice was not small, as if it was for George on the other side.

Green Ballard just shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything, while George's face suddenly looked bad.

Tracy's singing skills were well known by the people present, but no one dared to say anything. Katie Perry obviously didn't know the situation and opened her mouth carelessly. She just couldn't bear it. Tracy, an amateur, occupied such a beautiful studio.

The child, how can she speak without going through her brain? I have to remind her not to speak later.

George is still optimistic about Katie. The little girl is first-class in singing, timbre and creative ability. When the company is short of talents, it may be able to hold up a day temporarily.

When he was about to remind, green Ballard first said, "George, is this young man in there our boss? He wrote all the songs you showed me?"

Green is talking to George, but his eyes never leave Tracy. His eyes are shining. One of the reasons why he, a gold medal producer, was persuaded by George to come to the new company was the dozens of classic songs Tracy gave George.

Without those good songs, how could he end his contract with the island good jam music group and come here. He had planned to go to Columbia record company to introduce his disciples to each other.

I didn't bring people here until I saw those songs and thought they were suitable for Katie.

"Yes, green, this is our young boss. It's not easy for me to invite him to record songs." George smiled bitterly and glanced at some confused Katie.

Katie was a little confused when she heard the conversation between her teacher and agent George. She knew that the boss of the new company was a talented young writer. Now she was very popular in the circle. She had seen photos, but she really didn't recognize them through a glass.

It's really a miscalculation. In fact, Katie is still Tracy's half pineapple powder. She's fine now. She's taking time to read fifty shadows. She's already seen the second volume. She has an unspeakable love for this book.

I really lost my adult. The leader was in front of me and didn't recognize it.

"Our boss is so young. He wrote this song himself now. It's also powerful." some guilty Katie said weakly.

George's mouth rose slightly, with an unspeakable pride. "The boss has excellent talent in music. He is proficient in piano and violin, lyrics and music. This song is only one of his creations, and the quality can only be ranked in the middle and lower."
