Levi Maliwauki Music

A. I can customize my performance to any situation from standard background music to full out crowd and audience participation or strictly vocal/music performance
B. My repertoire is roughly 350 songs deep
- It is made up of the classic rock songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s as well as tunes from the 90s til today.
- Requests are generally not a problem, new music, old music, Happy Birthday etc...
- I will play an hour set (13-15 songs) then take a 10 break
C. If you have a specific theme or goal for the music of the event, I can tailor it to your needs
D. Please note that I do not play Sunday events and it is very difficult to plan more than 6-12 months in advance. I will do my best to accommodate any date/time but the more you get past a year, the harder it is to know availability.

I am a singer/songwriter/performer and I play classic rock music from the greatest solo artists and bands from the 60s to today.

I began piano lessons at age 6. Played for 4 years (liked it a little more than your average 10 year old) had to take a two year hiatus because we moved and didn't have a piano or lessons opportunity.

I began taking lessons again at age 12 and found an intuitive piano instructor who said "Levi, what do you want to play"...well, I loved movie themes and so that was where I started to focus. I drove my mom crazy because I played Phantom of the Opera over and over again. I soon branched out from Phantom and learned many more movie themes i.e. Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones films, Star Wars films, Pirates of the Caribbean to name a few.

By 14, I was really itching for more rocking piano music. I was challenged by my Dad to learn "Miami 2017" from Billy Joel and as they say; "the rest is history". I started playing all of Billy's biggest hits and more as well as Elton John, Styx, Foreigner, Queen, Asia, The Eagles, America, Muse, Gerry Rafferty and more. I fell in love with the music of the Beatles, Paul McCartney & Wings and ELO especially. Jeff Lynne who founded ELO is truly the 6th Beatle.

Now, I have a very large repertoire of classic rock as well as newer rock and pop songs to draw from. If you ask me to play a song I have never heard, I can probably play it or learn it quick enough to perform in minutes. I have been truly blessed.

I am currently working on my own album that will feature music that incorporates classic rock piano driven melodies, strings, brass and woodwind instruments. It will be released in Summer 2018.
