Levi McGrath

From working with former child soldiers in Uganda, to social work on the streets of Melbourne, Australia, Levi McGrath demonstrates a passionate commitment to changing the world for the better that goes beyond his 23 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.

The son of an itinerant country preacher, Levi began writing songs from age 12. He fronted several bands, both within and outside the world of the church, then graduated from Lismore NSW’s Southern Cross University, with a Bachelor of Music.

Levi's lyrics portray stories 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 Records in June 2006 and released his debut album, 'Move' in August 2007. 'Move' has sold over 2000 units since its release and has garnered over 200 radio interviews, national television appearances, feature articles and community radio airplay on 300+ stations nationwide, including several syndicated national programs.

2008 saw Levi touring Australia for six months, followed with a Buzz Grant-funded USA tour. In 2009 Levi returned to Uganda to work with former child soldiers for five months, with World Vision in Gulu. Out of this has come his new album, rich in passion for social change and heart-rending stories of suffering and dignity. Levi McGrath’s new album is slated for official release mid-2010, when he will commence a national tour sponsored by World Vision Australia to spread the message of the child victims of war.
