Katy Perry's life before fame: I Kissed A Girl star sings back-up for Christian rock band POD in unearthed clip
Katy Perry has been spotted in a throwback video singing back-up for Christian rockers POD.
Before becoming the megastar sex symbol she is today, the then Katy Hudson was big into her God rock, as the 2006 clip from the Jay Leno's Tonight Show will attest, which was first unearthed by MetalSucks.net.

Who's that girl? Katy Perry has been spotted singing backup for Christian rock band POD in a Tonight Show clip from 2006
In a retrospectively bizarre juxtaposition, the then-21-year-old can be seen tucked away behind dreadlocked crooner Sonny Sandoval and bassist Traa Daniels as she follows their lead on the song Goodbye For Now.
Despite the prayer-infused metal clanging on around her, Perry's vocals are undeniable.
Wearing knee high socks with a short dress and some pretty heavy mascara, the Roar hitmaker even gets a good bit of her own camera time as her refrain plays the song out towards the end.

Hear me roar: Yet the despite the prayer-infused metal clanging on around her, Perry's vocals are undeniable
Diehard fans of the singer - whose parents are Pentecostal pastors - will have known she was a backing singer for the group in her early career - she even appears in Goodbye For Now's official music video.
Much like in the Tonight Show performance, she's invisible for most of the song until she unexpectedly pops up at the end, dancing around on the docks with a very male dominated crowd.
Religious music is where Katy got her start: before her 2008 platinum selling album One Of The Boys, which shifted around 5million copies worldwide, there was her 2001 gospel debut album titled Katy Hudson, which sold around 200. (That's 200 flat, not 200million).

Nine years on it is a very different story, as she winds the home stretch of her mammoth 151 gig world Prismatic tour.
Having sold out dates in all corners of the globe, the 30-tear-old didn't even let the stifling altitude of San Juan stop her when she played in Puerto Rico on Monday night.
She had been forced to wear an oxygen mask following her concert at Parque Deportivo 222 just days earlier and shared an obligatory selfie on Twitter.
'Singing and dancing at over 8,000 feet, no problemo Bogota, Colombia,' she captioned the shot.
