Recently relocated from California to New York, Meli Levi is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose unique fusion of folk-rock, alt-rock and blues is anchored in emotionally honest lyrics and warm, powerful vocals.
Both Meli's songwriting and artistic intent have been sharpened by a deep immersion in meditation practices over the years. Meli writes with a reverence for the transformative capabilities of music; “A song can recall a powerful memory or inspire someone to forgive a person they’ve been upset with—music has that power—and I try to be aware of what I put out into the world with my songs”.
Meli has shared the stage with such talented artists as Brandi Carlile, Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), Monophonics, Olive Klug and Abby Posner. Her work has earned significant recognition in prestigious circles, including multiple placements in the International Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only Music Awards.
Meli’s unique talent granted her the opportunity to work with production legend Jack Endino (Nirvana) and producer/engineer Jonathan Plum (Brandi Carlile) at the iconic London Bridge Studios. Meli’s debut solo EP Crowned was recorded with Grammy winning, multi-platinum engineer Isha Erskine (Maroon 5). Self-produced and released in 2024, Meli’s latest album, All Things May Be, showcases Meli’s imaginative arrangements, skilled guitar work and a dexterous voice. She is currently back in the studio again finishing up a full length album with producer and label consultant Jeffrey Wood (Warner Bros).
Meli Levi is not to be missed; her performances promise an unforgettable blend of unwavering authenticity, artistry and passion.

““Levi crafts an emotive blend of folk rock and blues, leaning into moments of gentle intimacy and well-honed grooves.””
“There's something about "Echo in a Valley" that manages to make us feel a connection, letting us be part of these series of ups and downs that make up the beauty of life. This song is a welcomed addition to not only her growing of work, but to the music scene in general. ”
“A personal favorite because of its Liz Phair-like alt-rock flow, “Close to You” features darker guitars juxtaposing luminous vocals. The splendid, layered vocal harmonies on the title track, which closes the EP, are worth the price of admission.”
