Pop Levi Biography

Pop Levi is one of the most popular and richest Record Producer who was born on September 22, 1977 in Surrey, England, United Kingdom. Richard Levi (born Jonathan James Mark Levi, 22 September 1977) is an English singer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer.

2008 saw the creation of Levi’s World Empire, Inc., a film and music production company. The 37th Festival Nouveau Cinema in Montreal hosted the world premiere of You Don’t Gotta Run. It was a bizarre 37-minute docu- featurette that Lucky Beaches directed and featured Levi.

In 2009, Levi travelled to Norway where drummer Simonsen was now based to record his third album, tentatively titled “Records”, which was intended to be live and raw sounding. The album was recorded in a mountain-top converted barn and re-titled “Smack Musick”, however, after being left in a state of limbo for 2 years, with the last scheduled release date being March 2011, it was eventually shelved.

A planned double album of home demos and outtakes entitled “Micro Sex Tapes”, which was originally set for release in 2009 was never released. A stand-alone double A-Side single “Police $ign/Terrifying (For Kenneth Anger)” was released in June 2009, with a new lineup featuring drummer Hayden Scott. An early version of Police $ign was featured in the in-game soundtrack of Gran Turismo 5.

Levi’s debut solo album was released on Counter Records in February 2007. This imprint was created specifically for Levi by Ninja Tune. The Return to Form Black Magick Party was self produced and recorded over many years using a laptop & D16 recording machines at The Kif, Liverpool’s rehearsal space. It was also recorded while on tour with Ladytron, where he recorded a number of songs in various locations throughout “England and China, France and Greece”, including “on trains, in airplanes, at the top of Cathedrals and at the beach as well as in hotels, rooms, and tombs. After recording everything, I took the tracks to Sacramento for mixing. The album was extensively toured across the US, UK and Europe, and it was named Lauren Laverne’s favorite artist to achieve success in 2007.

Levi was raised in Birmingham’s suburbs and attended Shrewsbury School between 1991 and 1994. There, he would skip Sunday church to record songs in the basement. After graduating from LIPA in 1997, Levi moved to Liverpool to continue his studies. He formed Super Numeri, an experimental instrumental band with Karl Webb (and James Morgan) who signed to Ninja Tune in 2002. They released “Great Aviaries” and “The Welcome Table” albums in 2003 and 2005. Levi was also a bass player for Ladytron on live shows and on the album Witching Hour.

In 2004, Levi released singles “Rude Kinda Love”, and “Reindeer In My Heart” via the independent label “Invicta Hi-Fi”, which was founded by Daniel Hunt of Ladytron. A follow-up single, “Kissed Her Sister”, was cancelled in 2005. Levi formed The Emergencies along with Zukanican members Jake Field and rhythm guitarist Dominic Lewington (AKA Domino), and drummer James Pagella. They performed regularly in Liverpool as “Pop Levi & the Emergencies”, including at the Merseyside Music Festival and Unite Against Racism Festival. After being backed by The Emergencies, Levi’s last single was “Blue Honey” on Invicta Hi- Fi before signing to Ninja Tune. The Emergencies were disbanded after Levi signed the new deal. Levi retained Lewington as a board member and recruited Marius Simonsen, drummer, and Luke Muscatelli, bass player (AKA Lucky Beaches), to join the band. They moved to the US and lived together in Echo Park, Los Angeles. The new backing band was called “Woman.”

In July 2008, Levi released the follow up album Never Never Love, which was preceded by the single “Dita Dimoné” which made BBC Radio 6’s ‘Record Of The Week’. Levi set out to make the follow-up, in contrast to the loose feel of the debut, sound artificial and soulless, that it sounded “like Japanese toys falling in and out of love with each other”. The album was recorded at Westbeach Recorders and Westlake Recording Studios, in the same room Quincy Jones recorded Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Off The Wall albums. Following the recording of the album, Lewington was asked to leave, returning to England to pursue solo projects, while Simonsen returned to Norway and joined pop band Montée, leaving Levi with no band to tour the album. Levi and Muscatelli played sporadic shows across LA as a duo, with Muscatelli shifting from bass guitar to synth bass. Aside from a handful of solo acoustic shows in London, there was also no tour to support the album in the UK either.
