History
Perry first announced plans to launch her own label in June 2012. She spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how the label will be managed: "When this record label does come to fruition, I'm going to try and avoid the things that take away any fighting chance for an artist to have financial success. As people are coming to me with opportunities, I'm thinking, 'How would I want to be treated?'"{{cite magazine |title=Katy Perry to Start Own Record Label|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/katy-perry-to-start-own-record-label-20120621|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=June 18, 2014}} On June 17, 2014, Perry announced via Twitter that she had launched Metamorphosis Music as a subsidiary of Capitol Records, along with signing the singer-songwriter Ferras.{{cite magazine |last1=Grow |first1=Kory |title=Katy Perry Launches New Label Metamorphosis Music, Signs Ferras |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/katy-perry-launches-new-label-metamorphosis-music-signs-ferras-99090/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=17 June 2014 |access-date=23 July 2018}} The label's logo was revealed later that day.{{cite news|last1=Michaels|first1=Sean|title=Katy Perry launches record label, Metamorphosis Music|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jun/18/katy-perry-launches-record-label-metamorphosis-music-ferras|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=June 18, 2014}}
