Album Notes

From working with orphans in Uganda, to working with street kids in inner-city Melbourne, Australia, Levi McGrath demonstrates a passionate commitment to changing the world for the better that goes beyond his years. He is passionately committed to the belief that music is one of the most powerful influences in the world. That’s why he aims to for his music to motivate and inspire a new generation of people who are willing to stand up and make a difference.

Born in 1986 in regional Victoria, Levi grew up as the son of an itinerant pastor and began writing songs from age 12. In his early teenage years a local music teacher recognised Levi’s gifts, working with Levi throughout his secondary school years to help him develop his song-writing and performing craft. Levi played in several bands, both within and outside the world of the church, then was offered a place in a Bachelor of Music at Lismore NSW’s Southern Cross University, majoring in contemporary song-writing. In this setting, Levi’s song writing and performing skills were nurtured and flourished and he also gained experience working with professional musicians to obtain studio-recording and production knowledge.

Levi’s lyrics portray stories and perspectives of modern life, drawing from a well of personal experiences. Levi’s honest and straightforward music provides the basis for people to relate and seek out truth and purpose in their own lives. ‘My target is lives,’ he enthuses, ‘I want for my music to impact people’s hearts and change people’s lives. I want to be a voice of challenge to inspire people to open up their hearts to a bigger world.’

Levi signed with Small House in June 2006 and released his first album, 'Move', with the label in August 2007.
