}}Regan Mathews, better known by his stage name Ta-ku, is an Australian musician, producer and photographer.[1]

Life and career

Mathews is of half-Filipino, half-Māori heritage. He attended high school at John Curtin High School. Before he decided to focus on music, Mathews held a sales job at Medibank for five years.[2]

Mathews' stage name "Ta-ku" is a nod to his Māori heritage.[2] Ta-ku's debut Songs to Break Up To EP was released 8 October 2013 via HW&W Records and Sunday Records.[3] His follow-up Songs to Make Up To EP was released in June 2015 via Future Classic and Fool's Gold Records,[4] which debuted at No. 18 of the ARIA Album Chart.[5]

Ta-ku has featured on Boiler Room[6] and toured around Australia as part of Listen Out festival in 2014.[7] In May 2015, Ta-ku was a Youth Speaker at TEDxSydney.[8] Mathews is also a co-owner of Weston's Barbershop in Northbridge.[9]

Ta-ku made his U.S. live debut at New York's MoMA PS1 in October 2015.[10][11]

In 2016, Ta-ku collaborated with singer songwriter Wafia to create the album (m)edian.[12]

In 2018, Mathews started a creative agency called Pretty Soon with friend Ben Wright.[13]
