Who inspired Katy to become a singer?

Katy says the late Freddie Mercury from Queen and Alanis Morrisette really gave her the inspiration to pursue music! You can no doubt hear and even seen those influences for sure! She knows how to command a stage like Freddie did and she can throw you some attitude in her lyrics as Alanis did during her "Jagged Little Pill" days!
