Bruce Lev is a truly independent artist and greatly influenced by the Beatles and numerous other classic rock-n-roll bands from the 60’s and 70’s. Originally from Kings Park, New York, Bruce went to college and honed his crafts in the DC area for over 20 years. Then, in a biblical-type decision, he moved to the mountains of Panama for 5 years and found himself teaching the children of Panama music and songs of, well you guessed it, the Beatles! Then Bruce made his way down from the mountains, his beard turning bright white and carrying two tablets with new music written on them, and returned to the United States Southwest in Phoenix, Arizona in 2011. Once back in the US, Bruce had the opportunity to “Get Back” into the recording studio and create more music. As luck would have it, Bruce had access to some of the best musicians in the Phoenix area and began churning out numerous outstanding recordings. A number of these recordings began to receive song writing awards, and in 2014 Bruce was named “Best Adult Contemporary Artist” in the Artists in Music Awards. Further in 2014 Bruce released the song “Catwoman” which landed on the 57th Grammy ballot for “Best Rock Song”. Then in 2015 Bruce released the song “Jessica” to wide spread critical acclaim and landed on the 58th Grammy ballot in the “Best Arrangement, Instruments & Vocals” category. In September 2015 Bruce was named “Rock Artist of the Year” in the Josie Music Awards and Fair Play Country Music Magazine. In 2016 Bruce Lev released his album entitled “The Declaration of IndependenTS”, which is a play on words that highlights the modern day successes of Independent Artists in the internet and digital age, and which Bruce describes as his version of the Beatles' “White Album”. This album was honored as the “Best Americana Album” in the Akademia Music Awards along with naming BRUCE LEV as their “Artist of the Month” for September 2016! Furthermore, the song "20th Century Man" was named "Rock Song of the Year" at the Josie Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. Then in October this album landed on the 59th Grammy ballot for “Best Rock Album” and the song "What You Do To Me" (featuring Grammy nominee Armand Hutton) landed on the 59th Grammy ballot in the “Best Arrangement, Instruments & Vocals” category. In November 2016 Bruce was chosen to become a voting member of the Grammies (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences -NARAS).
