Mr. Levier’s first love, music, translated into becoming a DJ. Growing up in a musical home playing instruments such as the drums, violin and piano, he's always had a passion for music. Started DJ'ing in summer of 2015, what started as a harmless pass time translated into passionate hours of practice, downloading, hardware upgrades, and self-teaching via YouTube resulting into a career. In the short time the young Levier has played at some of the biggest venues in the Middle East which includes, Pacha, Movida, White Dubai, Cavali, Cirque Le Soir, and holds residencies at Provocateur Dubai and Billionaire Mansion and VIP Room as well internationally playing for events such as Formula One Grand Prix, 1Oak Baku, Kiss Club France and Le Maginifique to name a few. His unique style of playing mixes Hip Hop, Funk, House, Dance, Afro, Reggae and Latin, making sure you get the perfect combination of open format music.
