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.[4]
While attending high school at Narrabundah College,[5] he met Robert Conley through a school songwriting program run by APRA AMCOS.[6] 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"[7] and ARIA gold certified single "Not Thinkin' Bout You".[8]
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,[12]SIRUP,[13]iri,[14] and ¥ellow Bucks.[15] In January 2024, SIRUP released his single "GO!!", which was used by MINI Japan for the release of their Camden Edition vehicles.[16] In May 2024, WILYWNKA released his album "90's Baby", which Perry produced 5 tracks on.[17]
