Levi Kreis

If you’ve known Levi Kreis (pronounced krice) since his debut album, released on the heels of his television debut with NBC’s The Apprentice, then you know every stage of this man’s life has been chronicled through his albums. Each one reveals a new side to this singer/songwriter, taking you through a myriad of genres – piano pop, gospel, country, r&b and jazz. Levi’s music has been featured in film and television shows including The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, and So You Think You Can Dance. Seven albums have afforded Kreis impressive accolades – top ten positions on various charts, #1 music videos, national tours, TV appearances on The View, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon and a Tony Award for originating the role of Jerry Lee Lewis in Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet. With a multi-talent like Kreis, it’s no wonder his impact has been broad and varied. But Kreis is now settling in to what he knows best – southern soul.

​Levi’s gospel-rich vocals and church-inspired piano riffs have defined some of his best known songs including the Outmusic Award-winning single Stained Glass Window. An East Tennessee native, Levi spent his youth mimicking the piano style of southern gospel music and idolizing men like Ray Charles who brought that sound to the mainstream.
