In 2022, Perdomo was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album for his work with saxophonist Miguel Zenón on the collaboration album El Arte Del Bolero. Perdomo had been making music with Zenón since before 2004 when they were students together. In 2024, the duo won the Grammy for El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 2. The same year, Perdomo taught at the Berklee College of Music and was an adjunct professor at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College in New York teaching jazz performance in piano.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Perdomo has also played with Robert Hurst,[11] Jamie Baum,[12] John Ellis,[13] JD Allen,[13] Marcus Rojas,[13] Gregg August,[13] Frank Lacy,[13] Shelley Washington,[13] Mimi Jones,[14] John Patitucci,[15] Ray Barretto,[15] Alice Coltrane,[15] Brian Lynch,[15] David Sanchez,[15] Dafnis Prieto,[15] Yosvany Terry[15] and others.

At the Manhattan School of Music, where Perdomo earned his Bachelor of Music in 1997, he studied with pianist Harold Danko. Perdomo graduated with a Master's degree from Queens College in New York City, where he studied with the legendary pianist Sir Roland Hanna.[3][5][9][10]

"The biggest lesson I received from Gerry Weil in Venezuela was to keep my mind open to all types of music" he says. He eventually realized that he would have to travel to New York City to fulfill his musical destiny. "Being in a more competitive and challenging environment was a big change that I welcomed".[17][18] At the Manhattan School of Music he was a student of Danko and classical pianist Martha Pestalozzi.
