LEVI MIC check 1, 2... "Who's an enemy? I'm an enemy, I'm an enemy of generalization!" Fitting lyrics for a polarizing artist like LEVI. Emotionally raw and genre-defying, her words reflect the social and emotional struggles of being a white American female. Her music is a mash up of Rock and Rap. Her country-rap single "Hick", from her first album, spells out her rural upbringing, and E.O.G. ("Enemy of Generalization") asks all enemies of generalizing to stand up loud & tall. Believe it, she's a solo artist who writes, sings, raps, programs, records & produces her own songs. She's all about the uniqueness of style and fighting stereotypes with her tailored rock-rap sound, positively cutting lyrics, and her schoolgirl-gone-wrong look. At the end of the day, LEVI is like your best friend. She tells you what you need to hear. Born Jennifer Lee Wilcox in Ithaca, New York she got her musical ear playing Suzuki violin starting at age 3, and went on to sing and act at Interlochen National Music Camp in Michigan, North Carolina School of the Arts, and later in Chicago, IL. There she registered & settled her LEVI trademark with Levi's Strauss & Co. through Orum & Roth, LLC*. Worldwide shows as lead singer followed: the Madrid TV show 'Viva El Espectaculo', a rave at the Ahoy arena in Holland for an audience of 10,000, and 'Energy Express' TV show theme song performance written by LEVI and performed by her and the cast, including Freddy Rodriguez from 'Six Feet Under'. Chicago audiences watched the whitegirl do her thing live at the Cubby Bear, Oak Theater, Avalon, and an ASCAP showcase promoted by Jeff McClusky & Assoc. at the China Club-- where she shared the stage with current hottie Twista. LEVI also had fun doing voiceovers for the Chicago Children's museum and singing on several other artists' records. She has done commercial demos for Coke, Dentyne Ice, Sears Canada, AT&T, and Kohl's. Since then Radio Disney blind tested her music on 3,000 kids and they loved it ! LEVI has had demo deals with Epic/550/SONY and lava/Atlantic Records. Still an independent artist in New York city LEVI had 2 songs in the 2005 NBA Allstar Game ! Her cd sales and audience are fast increasing, with songs playing on XMsatellite Radio and hot podcasts and radio stations from colleges to Star 93.3 FM Clearchannel ! She also proudly studies the Seth Riggs SLS voice technique with Badiene Magaziner. Deeply committed and in love with music, LEVI thankfully invested money from her grandparents in a Protools recording studio where her Ithacan Records has produced 'Another Jennifer' and 'LEVI 101'. Next is her 3rd album upcoming in 2006. Recent live performances have been at Joe’s Pub, the Living Room, Don Hill’s, CB's Gallery, the Bitter End, The Cutting Room, Starbuck’s in Soho, Muskegon Community College (MI), Harry Van Arsdale High School, Tavern on the Green, B1 with Djs from the 5th Platoon, Club Speed, Pyramid, private parties for sponsors, U.S. soldiers, benefits and she is heading to tour the U.S. in the midwest in January 2006. All eyes on her website cause collaborations, reviews and interviews are ongoing. Her plans are simple: At least 5 albums, rocking major stages, many collaborations, and then tapping her acting abilities to get the role of a Bond girl.
