Bio:
Born Kevin Parker on January 20, 1986, in Perth, Australia, Tame Impala is the psychedelic brainchild of a one-man studio wizard. Starting with 2010’s Innerspeaker, Parker’s blend of swirling guitars and trippy vibes put him on the global map, earning ARIA Award nods. His 2012 album Lonerism brought critical acclaim with tracks like “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards,” while 2015’s Currents marked a synth-pop shift, with “Let It Happen” becoming a festival anthem. The Slow Rush (2020) explored time and change, hitting number three on the Billboard 200. Collaborating with artists like Rihanna and The Weeknd, Parker’s lush production has made Tame Impala a staple on Spotify and Apple Music, with over 5 million Instagram followers. From Perth’s isolation to worldwide stages, his music captures nostalgia, longing, and cosmic wonder, redefining modern psych-rock.
