## Career

Taka Perry was born and raised in Canberra, Australia to an American father and Japanese mother. He played a variety of instruments from a young age, and on his 12th birthday his parents bought him a digital audio workstation which sparked his interest in production. He has cited Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada as early influences.
While attending high school at Narrabundah College, he met Robert Conley through a school songwriting program run by APRA AMCOS. Upon graduating, he relocated to Sydney to pursue a career in music, with Conley acting as a mentor in his early career. In 2018, he worked as a producer on Ruel's debut EP Ready, including ARIA multi-platinum certified single "Younger" and ARIA gold certified single "Not Thinkin' Bout You".
In July 2019, Perry announced a record deal signing with etcetc. In July 2020, he performed a cover of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" for Triple J's Like a Version segment, featuring Western Sydney musician A.Girl. The performance was met with critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Australia calling it "an anthem for the current times."
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Perry began working remotely with Japanese music artists, which led to him start producing for prominent acts in the territory including JP THE WAVY, WILYWNKA, SIRUP, iri, and ¥ellow Bucks. In January 2024, SIRUP released his single "GO!!", which was used by MINI Japan for the release of their Camden Edition vehicles. In May 2024, WILYWNKA released his album "90's Baby", which Perry produced 5 tracks on.
In 2024, Perry visited Seoul, where he began producing and writing for Korean music artists. In May 2024, Wooseok (from Pentagon) released his song "You", which Perry produced and wrote. In July 2024, Katseye released the R&B and drum and bass song "Touch", which Perry co-produced and co-wrote alongside Cashmere Cat, Blake Slatkin, Omer Fedi, Caroline Ailin, and Kota Banks. The song charted in Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines, as well as the Billboard Global 200 and US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. A remix of the same song was released in October 2024, featuring Yeonjun from TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
He is fluent in both English and Japanese.
