During an interview for her official website at the time, Hudson cited artists Jonatha Brooke, Jennifer Knapp, Diana Krall, and Fiona Apple as her musical influences. Amongst what was described as an alternative direction were prominent influences of pop rock. Katy Hudson saw Hudson exploring Christian rock and contemporary Christian music (CCM). Hudson then began working on her debut album Katy Hudson. At the age of 15, she began pursuing a career in music and started recording demos and learning to write songs, capturing the attention of Red Hill Studios, who signed her a deal. Growing up in a conservative household and raised by pastor parents, Hudson spent most of her childhood with gospel music, as secular music was not permitted. Before its release, Red Hill went bankrupt, preventing it from marketing and promoting the album, which subsequently sold about 200 copies and received mixed reviews. The album, unlike the subsequent albums that made her known worldwide, primarily incorporates Christian rock and contemporary Christian music elements with lyrical themes of childhood, adolescence, and Hudson's faith in God. It was released on March 6, 2001, by Red Hill Records. Katy Hudson is the debut studio album by American singer Katy Hudson (later known as Katy Perry).
