Cafodd Perry ei eni yn Kendal, Jamaica. Roedd ymhlith y cynhyrchwyr-gerddorion cyntaf o Jamaica i ddefnyddio'r stiwdio fel offeryn, ac arloesodd gyda ffurf offerynnol "dub", lle tynnir rhannau o drac rhythm a phwysleisio eraill trwy atsain, ailadrodd a chwarae darnau o dâp o chwith.

Gweithiodd gydag amrywiaeth eang o artistiaid a chynhyrchu eu cerddoriaeth, gan gynnwys Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, The Congos, Max Romeo, Adrian Sherwood, Beastie Boys, Ari Up, The Clash, The Orb, a llawer mwy.

Enillodd yr enw "Scratch" ar ôl un o'i recordiau yn y 1960au cynnar, The Chicken Scratch. Recordiodd i Coxsone Dodd, perchennog Stiwdio One un o labeli mawr Jamaica'r cyfnod. Cynhyrchodd hits i gantorion Reggae fel Justin Hines a Delroy Wilson a gwneud ei recordiau ei hun hefyd.

Sgoriodd hit offerynnol gyda The Upsetter ym Mhrydain ar ddiwedd y 1960au ac enwodd ei label a'i fand The Upsetters ar ei ôl. [3] Chwaraeodd ran bwysig yn llwyddiant cynnar grŵp mwyaf Jamaica, y Wailers (gan gynnwys Bob Marley a Peter Tosh).

O 1968 hyd 1972, gweithiodd gyda'i fand stiwdio The Upsetters. Yn ystod y 1970au, rhyddhaodd Perry nifer o recordiadau ar nifer o labeli recordiau yr oedd yn eu rheoli, ac roedd llawer o'i ganeuon yn boblogaidd tu hwnt i Jamaica. Roedd ei hit offerynnol The Return of Django yn 5 uchaf y siartiau Y BBC ym Mhrydain, 1969 ac yn yn boblogaidd iawn gyda'r Skinheads - ffasiwn oedd ar ei brig ar y pryd.

Ond daeth ei arloesiadau mwyaf ar ôl iddo adeiladu stiwdio Black Ark y tu ôl i'w gartref yn Kingston ym 1974. Dechreuodd arbrofi gyda pheiriannau drymiau ac effeithiau stiwdio oedd yn arwain at oes "Dub" y 1970au ac yn dylanwadu ar dechnegau cynhyrchu mewn reggae, hip - hop a roc am ddegawdau wedi hynny. Yn enwog am ei gymeriad ecsentrig, losgodd stiwdio'r Black Ark ym 1980.[4]

Ar ôl ddiwedd cyfnod y Back Art ar ddechrau'r 1980au, treuliodd Perry amser yn Lloegr a'r Unol Daleithiau, yn perfformio'n fyw ac yn gwneud recordiau achlysurol gydag amrywiaeth o gydweithredwyr.

Parhaodd albymau mwyfwy avant-garde Perry i ennill canmoliaeth feirniadol i'r 21ain ganrif. Enillodd Jamaican E.T. (2002) Wobr Grammy am yr albwm reggae gorau, ac enwebwyd The End of an American Dream (2007), Repentance (2008), Revelation (2010), a Back on the Controls (2014) i gyd yn y categori hwnnw.

Yn 2012 derbyniodd Perry anrhydedd Jamaica, yr Order of Distinction, Commander Class. [5]

Bu farw yn Lucea, yn 85 oed.
