Levi started singing from the early age of 2 and discovered a love and talent for music that has remained within him throughout his life. As a naturally gifted musician, Levi worked in bands and choirs at school, which led to his collaboration with Jonathan and the formation of the Gilev duo.
As Gilev grew from strength to strength, Levi's capacity as a natural band leader shone through on stage. This was clear from both a performance perspective with his natural energy, showmanship and soulful voice, to the management of the band ( now a 12-15 piece core), through to the preparation and arrangement of the ever changing and fresh variety of music.
Levi's voice received early interest from the commercial record industry. It was described as incredibly versatile and was given vocal comparisons to artists such as Neil Diamond & George Michael. In addition to the success and expansion of his band, Levi has been involved in regular recording sessions on various projects working with top producers such as Trevor Horn at Sarm Studios. Amongst these was a recent session for the demo song of the 2004 Olympic Games.
Levi has a wealth of experience singing worldwide and has the ability to please multi- cultural audiences in several languages including Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, Italian, Yiddish and English. Throughout the years, his musical understanding has been moulded by many styles of music - soul, Middle Eastern, jazz, big-band swing, Latin, E. European and klezmer. These influences have helped him to become extremely flexible and cultured in his singing capacity.
In addition to his role as singer and band leader of the most successful show bands in the UK, Levi is in the initial planning stages of recording his debut solo album, a creative idea that has been growing for many years. Watch this space.
