• Kali was born in the Netherlands to musician parents and raised in Santa Monica, California, where he drummed in jazz bands and played competitive golf.
• Starting in late 2015, Leven Kali began posting songs online. Noteworthy tracks like “Joy” and “Smile” followed, showcasing an artist influenced by funk and electro-pop.
• He cowrote and coproduced singer Sno Aalegra’s 2017 song “Time,” which Drake sampled for 2017’s “Do Not Disturb.” Also in 2017, Kali guested on Playboi Carti’s “Flex.”
• In 2017, Kali signed with Interscope Records. In 2019, after a series of singles and two-packs, he dropped his debut album, Leven Kali: Low Tide. The streaming hit “Do U Wrong” features Syd.
