Ari Levine

Recording with renowned artists like Bruno Mars, CeeLo Green and Snoop Dogg, Ari’s record production and composition work landed him a Grammy® win and several Grammy nominations during his time as part of the songwriting and record producing team, The Smeezingtons. Levine began his music production work out of a small recording studio in Los Angeles, Levcon Studios, in 2005.
“As a kid, I had a very very simple plan—it had two parts. Meet Dr. Dre and make beats for Dr. Dre.”
In 2008, he began working with Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence as part of The Smeezingtons, eventually producing hits like Grenade, Gorilla, and The Lazy Song with Bruno Mars. Levine, Mars and Lawrence co-wrote and co-produced Just the Way You Are, which won Bruno Mars the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2011 and earned the songwriting team Song of the Year at the 2012 ASCAP Pop Music Awards ceremony. In 2014, Levine and The Smeezingtons won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for their work on Unorthodox Jukebox, which was popularized by songs like “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Gorilla”.
