Tame Impala is the psychedelic music project of Australian multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and record producer Kevin Parker.Kevin Parker, born in Sydney and raised in Perth, Australia, started Tame Impala as a home-recording project in the late 2000s. His self-released debut EP gained attention, leading to a record deal. Parker writes, records, produces, and performs almost all parts of Tame Impala's music himself in the studio, though he tours with a live band. Tame Impala's sound evolved from fuzzy psychedelic rock on early releases to a more polished, synth-driven psychedelic pop on later albums. The project achieved massive global critical and commercial success, particularly with the albums 'Lonerism' and 'Currents'. Parker is also a highly sought-after producer and collaborator for other artists.

• Parker records almost all instruments (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, synths) himself in his home studio, making Tame Impala effectively a solo project in the studio despite its band-like presentation live.
• He scrapped an entire album's worth of material before releasing the critically acclaimed and commercially successful 'Currents' (2015), marking a significant shift towards synth-pop.
• Parker is known for his meticulous production techniques and obsession with sonic detail, often spending years crafting albums.
• He has become a highly influential producer and collaborator, working with artists like Rihanna (covering 'New Person, Same Old Mistakes'), Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, and Kanye West.
• Despite Tame Impala's massive success, Parker has maintained a relatively private persona and continues to be based primarily in Perth, Australia.
