To put Perri’s age in perspective, let’s look at his fellow chaos-makers. Ashley Banjo, the founding father figure of Diversity, is 35 years old—so Perri is a full six years his junior. But Perri has been in the group longer than some members have been alive. For instance, little cast members like Kieram (born 2005) are only 19 now, meaning Perri is a decade older than them. So when Perri calls himself “old,” it’s both a joke and a fact—he’s the wise uncle who still plays Fortnite but needs reading glasses for the screen.
This creates a weird dynamic where Perri is the ageless glue of the group. He’s too young to be a dad figure, but too old to be the “young, fresh kid.” He’s like that one friend who’s been in the same band since high school and still wears the same hoodie, but now has a mortgage. If you asked him his age, he’d probably say, “I’m old enough to drive, but young enough to do a handstand without passing out.” Barely.

Here’s a little gem of trivia to blow your friends’ minds: Perri is the only Diversity member who was born before the internet went mainstream. He entered this world in 1995, the same year eBay and Amazon launched. That means he remembers a time when “viral” meant getting the flu, not a dance video. He also grew up without smartphones—which explains why his energy is so pure and un-filtered. He’s a digital native by birth, but an analog soul at heart. You can see it in his dancing: he moves like a kid who learned from MTV and old-school b-boy tapes, not TikTok tutorials.

Oh, and get this: Perri’s birthday (June 19) is exactly one day after National Go Fishing Day. I’m not saying his career was destined to be about “fishing for applause,” but… I’m not not saying it either. The man has literally been reeling in audiences since he was a preteen.
