Katy to feature domestic violence survivor at Grammy prod
Quote:
Perry is scheduled to take the stage with domestic violence survivor Brooke Axtell, who will perform a written-word piece while the "Roar" singer performs her touching ballad "By the Grace of God".
"It's an honor to collaborate with Katy in this way. She has been very devoted to various aspects of female empowerment," Axtell, 34, tells PEOPLE. "It's going to bring a lot of encouragement and freedom to those who hear my story and know that they are not alone in this."
Axtell is an Austin-based activist for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking who pulls from her own experience in hopes of inspiring others.
The collaboration between Perry and Axtell was the brainchild of Grammy producer Ken Erlich, who first got the idea to do a piece on domestic violence at a counsel meeting with White House officials late last year.
this could turn out to be really great.
