At the age of 16, he became friends with Michael and Randy Brecker, taking Michael's advice to move to New York and study with Harvey Estrin. During his time in NYC to further his studies, Perry found himself at Seventh Ave South (owned by the Brecker Bros.) almost every night soaking in all the music of some of the world's greatest musicians.
