Mike Leverenz (30.12.1967) is an independent pop musician from Berlin who enriches his audience with his catchy sounds and profound lyrical vibes. Mike combines authenticity with modern production techniques and passionately develops songs that appeal not only to the five senses but also to the soul - which he proves with each new release under the name "Level-M." Mike discovered his passion for music production and music theory at the age of 14, when he began writing songs and teaching himself to play the guitar. This creative foundation became the catalyst for Mike's strong enthusiasm for exploring new musical ideas. Although he learned a technical trade after leaving school in the 80s, Mike's creative spirit led him to the clubs and bars of the city. Witnessing first-hand the new wave music of his time and its formative impressions soon inspired Mike to take the next steps as a musical artist himself. Bringing new influences and modern twists to music in the mid-90s, Mike produced his first tracks for the album „Come On Over To The Better World“ and began to explore computer-based production extensively. Today, Mike is a songwriter who has released over 30 singles under "Level- M" and has won awards for it, including several at the German Rock and Pop Awards in 2018 and 2019. This is partly due to his natural artistic creativity, partly from his unparalleled versatility in rhythm, sound syntax and vocals, and part from his range of independent, sometimes minimalist songs that are known to inspire. "I am always evolving, just like the industry. However, my passion and initiatives as a music artist have always remained the same: to challenge the status quo through non-cheesy sounds and to provide audiences with experiences worth remembering." - Mike Leverenz. In summary, Mike enjoys delivering meaningful songs that evoke positive influences and invested appeal, aiming to conquer the charts and the hearts of his fans with his passion for music. Mike writes, composes, and produces most of his songs himself in both English and German, and is known for conveying sounds that combine emotion, passion, and motifs. This, combined with his powerful range from smooth beats to high energy, has led to Mike making his mark in the world of entertainment. Despite his tireless creative spirit, Mike remains down to earth and is the proud father of 4 children. He also likes to use music as a channel to convey moods and feelings, knowing that the path to a better future begins with it.
