LEVI
LEVI is a musical leader; she sings, hits very high notes, performs, writes, records and produces on the Protools setup she invested in. She's a deliciously blunt songwriter, an original voice chronicling the social & emotional struggles of being an American female. You can hear her songs played in the NBA, on radio, and on mixtapes from Cassidy & Raekwon's Dj Thoro, Bedtyme 357, Dj Green Lantern/HipHop Uncensored, Big Mike Hosted C2C Def Jam /Shadyville, and more recently on one hosted by Stat Quo of Shady Records. She won the Underground Music Award for Most Original Female Artist in 2006, and was nominated 3 times, including for best female rapper in 2008! She was heard on commercial radio in November, 2009, and continues to record.
LEVI is in her element onstage and has been heard by thousands in arenas internationally. One of her many collaborations was on the Street Dreams tour singing live with former Gunit affiliate M.O.P. 1st Family ! She can be heard in the Chicago Children's museum, and Radio Disney blind tested her music on 3,000 kids & they loved it! LEVI studied the SLS voice technique with teacher & opera star Badiene Magaziner, and has had demo deals with Epic/550 and lava/Atlantic records.
Born Jennifer Lee Wilcox from Ithaca, New York, she got her musical ear playing Suzuki violin starting at age 3, and went on to study singing & acting, later becoming a performing recording artist by the name of LEVI.
