One of the hottest new musicians in today’s sweat music society is coming to Toronto! American singer-songwriter and musician Katy Perry is coming to the Molson Amphitheatre on July 26th, 2009 at the all ages show and I was quick to scoop up a pair of concert tickets online to attend this show.
I’m certain that because Katy is relatively new to the music scene, she will brighten up the stage while thousands of her fans will come to see her perform live because they haven’t had this opportunity before.
Katy Perry had a stuggle with record labels and finally in 2007 she was recognized after the song ‘Ur So Gay’ was put over the internet. In 2008 she released her first successful album ‘One of the Boys’ which included the songs ‘I Kissed A Girl’ & ‘Hot N Cold’ that won 3-time platinum awards in the US. The album has sold over 800,000 copies in the United States to date. Katy Also was nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance of 2009.
Katy is a new musician, but she has already come a long way, and her career has a long way to go!
