Takee Alif is a Bangladeshi-Australian singer-songwriter based in Melbourne, known for his emotionally charged songwriting and versatile musicality. His journey began at age nine with classical violin, later expanding into guitar and songwriting as a teenager. This self-taught evolution shaped him into a dynamic artist with a deep understanding of both live and digital music landscapes.

Raised by a loving single mother who sang traditional Bengali music and played the harmonium and keyboard, Takee draws from his cultural roots while blending influences from artists like Ed Sheeran, NF, and The Script. These diverse inspirations inform his unique sound—an intimate fusion of heartfelt pop, rhythmic storytelling, and genre-crossing production.

His debut single “Watermelon Moon” was released on February 14, 2025, alongside a B-side, “You,” with a launch show at the Bergy Bandroom. His latest release, “out of my mind,” dropped on May 13 and was celebrated with a headline show at Mamma Chens. These singles form part of his upcoming debut album.

In late 2024, Takee formed a live band to bring his original material to life on stage. He also loves performing with an Ableton set and loop station, recreating studio-quality production in real time. A regular on Melbourne’s live circuit, he is no stranger to busking, open mics, and festivals, and has earned a reputation for raw, engaging performances.

Outside of performing, Takee is a skilled event organizer and youth arts leader. As part of the Freeza/Amplify committee, he helped run events such as Darebin Battle of the Bands, KickFlip, and Tiny Decibels—empowering young artists and building community through music.

He also presents on SYN 90.7 FM, hosting The Hoist and Get Cereal, where he spotlights emerging artists and trends. Alongside his broadcasting work, Takee teaches guitar and piano privately and at multiple music schools. He’s also worked as a sound technician at festivals including Tanglewood, Renaissance, and Esoteric, and led the Groove Lounge jam space at Tanglewood over New Year’s 2025.

In 2024, he interned with Groove Tunes and Tibi Access, assisting as an artist liaison and creating accessible lyric videos. His creative journey began much earlier, however—at age 14, he started uploading lyric videos to YouTube, which went on to earn nearly 2 million views collectively.

Takee continues to evolve as both an artist and creative entrepreneur, committed to making music that connects and inspires across generations and cultures.
