After debuting with Attention Deficit in 2017 alongside the Jonah Levine Collective, he’s set to release his second album, Love, Loss, Depression, and Pixels. Crafted during a year-long retreat in California’s high desert, the album delves into themes of heartbreak, mental health, and self-discovery. Levine’s distinct style has earned him credits on Grammy-winning and nominated albums for artists like Jay-Z (4:44), Jhene Aiko (Chilombo), and Mon Laferte (Norma). He’s also worked with stars like Beyoncé, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, and Harry Styles, performing across major festivals worldwide. Band Lineup: TBA
