Levi is a breakout DJ/producer based out of New South Wales in Australia, and he’s exploded onto the scene this year with the release of his viral single, “Jump,” on Get Together Records.
Born Levi Neufeld, the 30-year-old isn’t really an overnight sensation, as he’s been producing and playing shows for five years before this year’s single began to dominate the circuit.
From playing events like Ralph Lauren’s Australian Open party, opening for the GRAMMY-nominated Kehlani, an official after-party for Anderson .Paak, and Your Paradise Fiji, Levi is finally able to perform his original music in latest sets, which of course, includes “Jump.” The song was released in late March, just in time for the start of festival season in the U.S., and since then, it’s been streamed more than 35 million times on Spotify alone.
When it comes to influences and music motivators, Levi says he finds inspiration in electronic music that’s heavily influenced by R&B. Discovering artists like Keinemusik, Sonny Fodera, and Jaydon Lewis in addition to acts like Groove Armada, who was his first introduction to electronic music, Levi has developed his production style and honed in on crafting his own Afro-beat-leaning sound. His passion for combining R&B and electronic is apparent on his smash hit “Jump,” which incorporates elements of Ginuwine’s 1996 hit, “Pony.”
