my solo album from 2013 was called HUSH NOW,super proud of it and pleased with how it came out. before i finished it the way it was in fact released i inended it to be even more sublte. something in the vein of a record u could play in the background like wallpaper, nothing to jagged or jarring... thought that maybe people could use something like that. but then i found people didnt really have the time or patience to listen like that. so after going way out of my way to make it sublte, i kind of hired myself as a producer to build it up and make more of an event out of everything. me and my father wrote all these songs together at really focused time in my lefe and i learn a lil something about songs rather than tracks in the process. figured it was worth puting up if anyone wants to dip in. cheers, enjoy 
(oh wait, also it may seem a bit more sad without "bells and whisltes" but know that it all work out lovely...

Sunny Levine is a California-based Grammy award winning record producer, songwriter, film composer and artist. Mostly known for his work as a producer for artists including Jon Batiste, Shabbaz Palaces, Happy Mondays, Pete Yorn, Scarlett Johansson, Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti, Alekesam, Shaun Ryder, Lenka,  and Hugh Masekela.

Sunny grew up surrounded by music. His father is renowned record producer STEWART LEVINE (Simply Red, Minnie Riperton, Dr. John, Joe Cocker, B.B. King, the Crusaders), his uncle is rap producer QD3 (Ice Cube, 2 Pac, LL Cool J) and his grandfather is QUINCY JONES. It would be safe to say that the boy grew up in some studios….

Sunny spent his formative years between Los Angeles, upstate New York and London.

Some time after their marriage my father  left Natal with  group of young Europeans from neighbouring New Guelderland, and went to Rhodesia. This was the time of the Matabele Rebellion - as it is called - and my father went to serve in some capacity with the Rhodesian forces. I can do no more than speculate about the attractions which this venture held for him - probably he was young and curious, and felt like a change.
   
     When hostilities ended he stayed on, attached to a Seventh Day Adventist mission near Bulawayo as an evangelist and interpreter. At this stage my mother, who in the meanwhile had suffered the death of one of her two sons, the the remaining son, Alfred, and dutifully went up into the unknown to join my father. I was born a while later on Rhodesian soil. My father died not long after my birth, and his mortal remains lie buried at Solusi mission, about thirty mile from Bulawayo.
