L3v3l Three

Brilliant instrumentalist and entertainer L3v3l Three taps into a strong vibe to create an original blend of R&B instrumental music with a melodic twist. It's little wonder why his new radio single ‘Sunday Kinda Groove’ is racing up the charts.

Missouri City, Texas native L3v3l Three is a excellent example of a R&B artist that elegantly leverages his originality and compositional skills to the service of modern entertainment. His new single ‘Sunday Kinda Groove’ demonstrates blazing musical stylings that are sure to appeal to mainstream audiences. This musician with a performance flair has the right look and the right attitude to become a proper R&B instrumental-magnet and audiences around the world are beginning to acknowledge the fact that a new creative force has arisen. Where will he take it from here? One critic wrote of his award-winning work: ‘L3v3L Three’s uptempo concoction ‘Sunday Kind of Groove’ blends suave saxophone and guitar idiom with an expertly articulated rhythm - to a lively and listenable result.’ We suspect this artist will navigate the future on his own terms, given his obvious passion and musical skills. Independent reporter Alexis Adams recently caught up with L3v3l Three to discuss his music and the interesting path by which he came to it.

ALEXIS: Let's just get this out in the open- What is the craziest thing that has happened to you in your music career?
L3V3L THREE: Showing up at a gig and our equipment didn’t show up with us and having to ask the other band to use their equipment which was such an epic fail.

ALEXIS: Your song ’Sunday Kinda Groove’ is receiving a positive listener response on radio. What was your initial reaction when you first heard your song playing on radio?
L3V3L THREE: I think you are always excited for that first radio play and want to share it with everyone in your circle.

ALEXIS: What was the inspiration behind your debut radio single?
L3V3L THREE: I love a mix of sax and piano, combined with a little subtle guitar riffs and Sundays are for easy listening and just reflecting which seems to go with the mood of the song.

ALEXIS: It is often said that great art arises from difficult experience. Is there something in your life experience thus far that you would describe as the ‘catalyst’ or ‘fuel’ for your desire to create music?

ALEXIS: How would you characterize yourself as an artist/musician? (Ex. Down-to-earth, serious, fun-loving, complicated…)
L3V3L THREE: I think all of the above would be fitting! Each day you wear a different hat and I believe that on any given day you are who you are meant to be. I am very down-to-earth.

ALEXIS: What has your experience been like working with the other people on your team?
L3V3L THREE: You know success is a funny thing? You lose friends and you gain friends what transforms the bond of band members can be the same thing that breaks them up.

L3V3L THREE: I credit my uncle who is one of the greatest blues singers here in the Houston area as well as my aunt one of the great pioneers of boogie blues piano along with Fats Domino.

ALEXIS: What do you find most rewarding about being an artist? What do you find most challenging?
L3V3L THREE: Rewarding hands down would be the creation of music and the effects it has on others. Most challenging would have to be the day to day grind of keeping the band and the brand strong in the current music industry climate as a whole.
