Prolific Singer-songwriter Levi Kreis Celebrates Defining Chapter in His Journey and Brings It Home with Brand New Release 'Where I Belong'

share
New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Centaur Records) - Inspiration, healing, acceptance and confidence are four words that fit perfectly when discussing LEVI KREIS. On Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 these words come full circle with this singer-songwriter as he celebrates his incredible journey and so called 'cleansing' with the release of his third studio album 'Where I Belong.' This new collection of recordings is the most positive, uplifting offering witnessed from this piano man. Highlights include the first single/lead off track 'Gonna Be Alright', the vulnerable 'Nothing At All', live fan favorite 'Stained Glass Windows' which finally finds its place on a studio album, and 'This Girl' which will cause core fans to go 'hmmm.' The result more than satisfies fans with Levi's own pop sensibilities and contagious hooks, but this time they simmer with southern soul that rings truer than any other previous project. Levi is not afraid and he is standing tall.

"This truly represents (Kreis) as an artist...coming home to the gospel roots." – Music Connection Magazine

With this release, it is the perfect time for Levi to celebrate his incredible journey and accomplishments, led by his current role as Jerry Lee Lewis in 'The Million Dollar Quartet.' This casting took Levi off the road in 2007 after performing nearly 300 solo shows that previous year.
A role so naturally perfect as this has lead to praises in the New York Times, The Seattle Times and recently being named 'One of the Best Theatre Moments Of 2008' by The Chicago Tribune. The show has already celebrated record-breaking sales in both Seattle and Chicago.

Previous releases marked Levi's place in the music industry, proving he can do it on his own terms. The 2006 release 'The Gospel According To Levi' took us through the complicated and painful past of a young gay man growing up under the grip of religious fundamentalism, which any listener who had ever felt like an outsider or oppressed related to. At this time, Levi released music video 'We're Okay' which held the number 1 position for nine weeks on MTV Networks Logo Channel and was also featured on HBO Zone, Planet Out and more. Debut album 'One Of The Ones' in 2005 had music placements on The Apprentice with Donald Trump (following Levi's own appearance on the show), Days Of Our Lives and The Young And The Restless.

Other highlights in Levi's career include being cast as Roger in the National Tour of 'RENT'and acting opposite of Matthew McConaughey in Bill Paxton's 'Frailty.' Levi has also been heard of XM, Sirius and many other radio outlets and he has shared the stage with such greats as Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Pharrel, Collective Soul and opened for Cyndi Lauper at Wrigley Field. In the works for 2010 is a lead role for Levi in an already award winning indie film called 'Vega, TX.'

New album 'Where I Belong' proves that Levi has come into his own with a sound nostalgic for his gospel roots and southern soul, and promises to be the most defined chapter in this young prolific singer/songwriters promising career.
