TAKEE is returning to headline The Bergy Bandroom for an unforgettable afternoon of live music with support from Adam Mendum & Mila + Lucas.
This special show marks a new chapter, as he officially changes his artist name to ‘TAKEE.’
TAKEE is an Australian artist whose journey began at the age of 9 with classical violin, later expanding into guitar and songwriting. His music draws from his upbringing, particularly his mother's love for traditional Bengali music and her playing of the harmonium and keyboard. He blends those influences with artists like Ed Sheeran & NF to craft a unique fusion of heartfelt pop, rhythmic storytelling, and genre-crossing production.
He was nominated for the 2025 JMC Cassette People’s Choice Award; a national recognition celebrating Australia’s most promising emerging artists.
With a debut album set to drop in 2026, TAKEE is a familiar face on Melbourne’s live circuit. From intimate busking sets to full-band gigs, he’s performed locally at many local venues, including Mamma Chen’s, The Espy, The Workers Club and more.
Internationally, he’s taken his music to stages like Nashville’s Bluebird Café and Commodore Grille, Mackenzies Tunes & Tonics (Virginia), The Lost Church (San Francisco), Ju Ju Social Club (LA), and more. Takee even found himself sleeping on the same couch Quentin Tarantino had once occupied in Los Angeles, a story that highlights his adventurous spirit and dedication to chasing music wherever it leads.
TAKEE is establishing himself as one of Australia’s most distinctive voices, with the ambition and vision to make his mark both at home and internationally. He continues to evolve as a creative entrepreneur, making music that connects and inspires across generations and cultures.
