Taka Perry (born 18 October 1998) is an Australian-Japanese music producer, songwriter and artist from Canberra, Australia.[1] His past collaborations include Ruel, Denzel Curry, GoldLink, SIRUP, Thomas Headon, and M-Phazes.
Career[edit]
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.[2]
In 2015, while attending high school at Narrabundah College,[3] he met Robert Conley through a school songwriting program run by APRA AMCOS.[4] 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 an additional producer on Ruel's debut EP Ready, including the ARIA platinum-certified single "Younger".[5]
In July 2019, Perry announced a record deal signing with TMRW Music.[6] In July 2020, Perry performed a cover of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" for Triple J's Like a Version segment, featuring Western Sydney musician A.Girl.[7] The performance was met with critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Australia calling it "an anthem for the current times."[8]
In February 2022, Perry co-wrote and produced "When I'm With You" by Isaiah Firebrace and Evie Irie, which was be performed at Eurovision - Australia Decides.[9]
He is fluent in both English and Japanese.[10]
