Content Source: OztixMelbournes own indie-pop singer-songwriter TAKEE returns to headline The Bergy Bandroom for an unforgettable afternoon of live music on Saturday December 13th, 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.
Nominated for the 2025 JMC Cassette Peoples Choice Award; a national recognition celebrating Australias most promising emerging artists. Selected from over 180 submissions across three campuses, TAKEEs nomination places him among the top rising talents in the country.
Internationally, hes taken his music to stages like Nashvilles Bluebird Cafe 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 Australias 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.
