Press Reviews LEVI JOHN Levi John is a Caribbean born singer, entertainer and musician whose talent, love of people and joy in living have carried him far beyond the boundaries of his native land. Born in St John’s Village, Grenada, Levi moved with his family to Trinidad when he was three. He began singing in church at the early age of four and performing at social functions by the age of eleven. While singing in a London showcase, Levi was noticed by an American producer who invited him to New York to appear in several on and off Broadway productions. While performing on Broadway, Levi also established himself as a singer/entertainer in New York and seized the opportunity to formally train at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Since then, Levi has performed extensively across the US and Canada, spreading a message of joy and hope through his music and his rare ability to touch the soul of those he meets. He has also traveled and performed across Europe, performing on stage in Britain, Holland, Spain, Italy and Germany. Levi’s ability to touch lives with his music and heart transcends any language or cultural barrier. The Europeans have embraced him and the mutual admiration has encouraged Levi to schedule periodic return tours over the past several years. Levi was influenced at an early age by Gospel music, American country, the joyful music of his native land and later by British rock playing on the local radio station. His dynamic voice, rich and resonant allows him to successfully perform a diverse selection of melodies and rhythms, yet is tender enough to perform the most sentimental lyrics and classic ballads. A gifted entertainer, Levi reaches out to his audience, recognizing each of them for the special and unique individual they are and connects with them on a personal level. Levi’s latest contributions to the music industry embody his vision, a world of hope and promise for the people of the world. Levi believes in a world of people united, people caring and giving of themselves without prejudice. He envisions a world that can change, with people finding joy in each day and in response they reach out to others in love to unselfishly lend a helping hand.. Throughout his career Levi has demonstrated his vision by performing numerous benefits and providing support for those who are underprivileged or in need. A performance at the opening ceremonies for the Special Olympics and raising funds for the Rainbow children in Europe through CD sales were earlier commitments. As world unrest becomes more evident, Levi has become increasingly passionate about his vision and his music. His message, his music, and his commitment reflect that. “People Helping People”, a special release selection from a popular CD entitled “Generations”, will fund a pending foundation established to fulfill Levi’s dream; the building of a children’s hospital in his native land – the Caribbean. The CD “Generations” has a rich full sound that clearly has its origins in R&B, but borrows from Pop, Jazz, Gospel and of course, Caribbean Pop, to create a distinct sound, a higher level of music for Levi that will reach a broad audience. Proceeds from the sale of his most recent CD, “Dancin in the Moonlight” with the song “Children of Today” is devoted to funding a major contribution and commitment by Levi for an expansion of the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Myers, Florida.This year, Levi has performed a concert for a major fund raising effort to benefit the American Cancer Society in Knoxville, Tennessee, a concert to support the Big Brothers and Sisters in Florida, and is scheduled to perform a live concert in August 2001 to support an organization assisting troubled youth in Northwest Florida. Levi will continue to refine his artistic ability, but recognizing that the hope for the future lies in our ability to care, show compassion and reach out and help each other, he remains committed as in his words, to serving as a “messenger”. He continues to deliver a message of hope through his music, his way of giving back for the gift of life and talent.
