Biography
Rich Levering -
With a unique blend of raw talent and stage presence, singer/songwriter Rich Levering is emerging as one of the most impressive new arrivals on the modern music scene. Rich recently opened for Lyle Lovitt at Philadelphia's acclaimed Kimmel Center and his live sets are something to be seen.
A native of Philadelphia and a graduate of Berklee School of Music/Emerson College, Rich recognized his love for music at the age of 5, when he was taught the Suzuki Method, learning how to play the guitar from ear while also discovering his affinity for singing. He wrote his first song at fourteen, but it wasn't until Berklee that he really found his love for writing meaningful and memorable music.
After living and performing from coast to coast and overseas, Rich finally landed in Brooklyn, New York. He had the fortunate opportunity to work alongside talented producers of indie to multi-platinum success. These producers, who share Rich’s enthusiasm for writing relevant, universal music, gave Rich the experience and direction needed to help him embark on his already promising career.
Rich Levering, with his smooth pop-rock vocals infused with soulful beats and instantly catchy hooks, is sure to make first time listeners into longtime fans. The energy and passion of this 28 year old is showcased not only in his music, but in his spirited live shows as well. Rich performed across North America on last summer’s Warped Tour in the MySpace.com and Skull Candy tents, as well as appearing on a national cable show on HGTV which he wrote and performed orginal music while also performing at the House of Blues in CA.
This was a great opportunity to share his music with his already bi-costal, loyal fan-base, but also a newer growing audience as well.
Rich has a simple but generous intention – to engage and inspire. "I feel like the music that I write has the power to connect positively with anyone that takes a listen.”
Rich, a storyteller at heart and musician at soul, is constantly at work writing new material while living in New York City and at home in Philadelphia. He'll be performing his own original style of heartfelt love songs and feel good, bar-friendly, soul-infused pop to audiences throughout the Northeast this spring and summer to promote his new self-entitled EP.
Also be on the lookout for his song "Notice You" that was recently chosen to be in a movie headed for next year's Sundance Film Festival !
