Sunny Levine is a California-based record producer, songwriter, film composer and artist. Mostly known for his work as a producer for artists including Pete Yorn, Scarlett Johansson, Ariel Pinks Haunted Grafitti, Happy Mondays, Mickey Avalon, Alekesam, Mozella, Shaun Ryder, Asa Soltan, Lenka, Orelia, Keepaway and Hugh Masekela. He made his mark on the Los Angeles music scene as a founding member of the cult-like satirical hip hop group THE TRILAMBS and as lead singer of the band MAATA HAARI. In 2009 LA tastemaker and DJ Bruno Guez, through his QUANGO label, released Sunnys solo album entitled LOVE RHINO to much critical acclaim, with particular attention paid to his haunting and poetic lyrics telling the story of love gone strange. Along with his solo work, hes currently recording as BIGGEST CRUSH (with Zach Cowie) and BANGKOK STARTERS (with Joachim Cooder) and goes under the monikers "SOONHEY" and "MISTER BUNNY". Sunny grew up surrounded by music. His father is renowned record producer STEWART LEVINE (Simply Red, Minnie Riperton, Dr. John, B.B. King, the Crusaders, Jamie Cullum, etc.), his uncle is rap producer QD3 (Ice Cube, 2 Pac, L.L. Cool J) and his grandfather is QUINCY JONES. It would be safe to say that the boy grew up in some studios…. Sunny spent his formative years between Los Angeles, upstate New York and London. Being a hip hop kid, his early years in music were as a DJ and then as a beat maker. In the mid 90s, during the advent of trip hop, Sunnys musicality clicked into gear and artists like Howie b., Massive Attack, and Portishead made it apparent that there was something more to do with the tools and methods set into play by hip hop producers than strictly rap. He recently composed the score and supplied original songs for the motion picture CELESTE AND JESSE FOREVER starring Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Elijah Wood, and Emma Roberts.
