ABOUT LEVI:

"Elements of the American music press have labeled Washington DC-based singer, songwriter Levi Stephens a cross between John Legend and John Mayer Stephens possesses a similar songwriting strength, a natural instinct for soul and an expressive voice ...However, its not that Levi has been influenced directly by those two artists, rather its all three who have borrowed from the classic blues, soul and RnB artists who have gone before them. "

In the true spirit of an indie artist, 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.
Discovering Levi Stephens' music is like enjoying a surprisingly great meal at the local cafe youve passed a thousand times before finally deciding to stop in. You thought you knew what you were getting into, but this is something more, something different. Its refreshing a pleasant surprise that an artist in todays single-driven Industry, chooses to follow in the tradition of those classic singer-songwriters that came before by creating whole-themed albums. 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 folk while always remaining honest, clever, and conversational.
Levi's affinity for singing can be attributed to growing up in the Washington, D.C. 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 sang and played the piano. Outside of the church, young Levi was exposed to artists like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye 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. Levi has written and produced songs on 702s 2003 album Star, (Places and Certified), Raheem Devaughns 2005 album, The Love Experience (Believe) Angie Stones 2012 Rich Girl (Rich Girl and Do What You gotta Do), Chuck Brown's 2014 Beautiful Life (Beautiful Life feat. Wale) 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 staying power no matter what changes around it 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.
