About Levi Stephens

Discovering Levi Stephens’ music is like enjoying a
surprisingly great meal at the local cafe you’ve passed
a thousand times before finally deciding to stop in. You
thought you knew what you were getting into, but this is
something more. It’s refreshing --a pleasant surprise that
a new artist in an industry plagued by dying creativity
chooses to follow in the tradition of those classic singersongwriters
that came before. His debut album, “This
Way” goes far beyond the confines of R&B and seamlessly
melds a variety of genres, from soul to rock to gospel
to folk while always remaining honest, clever and
conversational.
Levi’s affinity for singing can be attributed to growing up
in the Washington, (expired link). area in a home he remembers
being filled with music. “My father was a big music head.
We grew up listening to all kinds of really good music.
Music was bigger than TV.” Like many artists, his musical
roots began in church where Levi, like his father, sang
and played the piano. Outside of the church, young Levi
was exposed to artists like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers and
Donny Hathaway. In addition to those soul legends, The
Beatles, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Jimi Hendrix and Prince
all made their mark on Levi’s musical style and led him to
the guitar which was the final piece needed to create his
sound.
Levi’s ability to incorporate multiple influences into his
music can also be attributed to his role as a producer.
Along with his two partners at Kollective Music, Levi has
written and produced songs on 702’s 2003 album “Star”,
(Places and Certified), Raheem Devaughn’s 2005 album,
“The Love Experience” (Believe) and the Fat Albert Movie
Soundtrack (Come on and Join the Gang).
With each song he writes, Levi’s goal is timelessness. “I feel
like that kind of music will always have a place and staying
power” he says. His songs explore a variety of relevant
subjects while including the elements that always stand
the test of time; musicianship, strong lyrics, and shared
experiences. This line of thought is even reflected in the
cover songs that Levi chooses to perform.
In the true spirit of an indie artist, Levi is already planning
his next move: “In 5 years, I want to have 2-3 albums done
and be writing and producing for other artists. Then I
want to work for Disney!” A place that is synonymous
with excitement, lasting memories, and happiness would
be a fitting home for an artist who evokes all of those
emotions with his music. Until then, Levi Stephens is
taking listeners to his own carefully-crafted “happy place”
by tackling love, life, and everything in between with his
always relatable and intelligent spin.
