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.

In 2015, 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 an additional producer on Ruel's debut EP Ready, including the ARIA platinum-certified single "Younger".

In July 2019, Perry announced a record deal signing with TMRW Music. 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. The performance was met with critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Australia calling it "an anthem for the current times."

In February 2022, Perry co-wrote and produced "When I'm With You" by Isaiah Firebrace and Evie Irie, which was performed at Eurovision – Australia Decides.

He is fluent in both English and Japanese.
