Perry's latest project, "Reverie IV," truly showcases Perry's artistic evolution. Comprising 15 tracks, the project demonstrates his growth and versatility as an artist.

What matters is how many people are affected by your music and personally understand it." He emphasizes the healing power of music and the importance of connecting with listeners on a profound level, rather than chasing mere statistics.

Outside of music, Perry finds solace in painting, writing poetry, and indulging in his love for movies. Films, in particular, play a significant role in shaping his sound, contributing to the cinematic quality of his music.
