About Me |
|
| My name is Amy Nicole Levine, also known as "Amynix". I was born in San Francisco and as far as I can remember, I used to pick out tunes and play them by ear on the piano. At age seven I started my Classical training with a woman who will always be my mentor. She is in her nineties now and has lost her sight, but we often get together and talk about music. In high school, I experimented with Jazz, R&B and Funk in many bands in high school and in the community. I attended SFSU and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Music and Sociology. Upon graduating, I performed at various clubs in the Bay Area with bands like Marin-based "Freak Freely" and "Grooveline". Later I joined the Bay Area original Hip Hop band "75 Degrees", who has shared the same bill with "The Roots", "Digital Underground," "The Pharcyde", and "Common".I have performed with various artists such as Grady Wilkins (musical director for Whispers), Vince Lars, saxophonist (Tony, Toni, Tone), Eric Daniels, keyboardist (Mariah Carey), Eddie M., saxophonist (Prince), Juan Escovedo, percussionist (Sheila E), Vernon Black, guitarist (Mariah Carey) GG /Greg Gonaway, drummer (Mariah Carey) Larry Batiste, producer/singer/composer (SF chapter of Recording Academy), Troy Lampkins, bassist (Will Kennedy, Yellowjackets), Susie Davis, keyboardist/vocalist (Rolling Stones, Blondie, Prince), Sklyer Jett (vocalist) (Celine Dion)
