Eli Lev

To his Levitators community, Eli Lev is known as a Global Ambassador of Good Vibes, and everyday he honors his greater calling: uplifting open-hearted folks around the world through song.

Eli is a critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter and internationally-touring musician, an entrepreneur, a mobile lifestyle pioneer, a community leader, a son, and a friend. He is a storytelling songwriter who brings to his work a universal spirituality informed by a variety of belief systems. Eli’s Jewish upbringing, his transformative experiences with Indigenous people, and his study of Buddhism shine through his uplifting songwriting.

With one foot in the traditions of conscious folk music and another foot in modern pop production, Eli stands firmly on his own ground. His earnest, enlightened, and invigorating folk-pop has garnered favorable comparisons to Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, Noah Kahan, Jack Johnson, and John Denver.

Eli grew up in the diverse suburb of Silver Spring, Maryland where a blending of incongruous backgrounds made an indelible impact on his pan-culture perspective. He would go on to explore other countries and cultures through teaching eighth grade English on a reservation in the Northern Arizona town of Shonto, and later working and living in Andorra and Israel. Along the way, Eli earned his Master’s Degree in English Education from Bloomington, Indiana.

Immersing himself in the Indigenous culture and its community while teaching English on the Navajo Nation, Eli felt a call to dedicate his professional life to service. Yet, it would be years later when his path became clear while on a two-week solo beach retreat to Sayulita, Mexico with just his guitar. There, Eli had something of a spiritual awakening.

Up next, you can follow Eli’s adventures on his socials where he will be posting tour dates for this year and beyond. Eli, who averages over 250 shows annually, was named one of Bandsintown’s Top 100 artists. In 2025, Eli will be expanding his base throughout North America and Europe. Eli says: “My end goal is to share my music and create a worldwide community of people who have open hearts and want to see a positive change in themselves, their relationships, and the world at large.”
