recently released her follow-up album entitled Teenage
Dream which spawned two #1 hits, the title track and
California Gurls, which took only four weeks to reach
the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. She was nominated in
2009 for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for
her hit single "I Kissed A Girl" and again in 2010 for Best Female
Pop Vocal Performance for her hit single "Hot 'n' Cold." Ms.
Perry will perform the third single off Teenage Dream,

and "I Wanna Love You," featuring Snoop Dogg. He is the first solo
artist to twice hold both the #1 and #2 spots simultaneously on the
Billboard Hot 100 charts. He has since founded two record
labels, KonLive and Konvict, that are home to talents including
