7 Artists That Switched Musical Genres

4. Katy Perry

Most people know Katy Perry as the purple haired woman that likes to kiss girls. But before the pop star reached her Hollywood fame she was all about God. Her debut album Katy Hudson (original name), released in 2001, featured Christian gospel tunes. But when the commercial success didn’t follow, Perry decided to go full-on pop, recorded One of the Boys and solidified her path to stardom.
