Shirley's fan base is strongest in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Canada, Asia, but ultimately stretches to every country. Shirley Levi's independent music video for her hit song "YOUR EYES" has become a much requested hit on Canada's BPM TV, one of Canada's top music video stations. Her video is currently in rotation on their number one show, "BACK @ YA". After all of Shirley Levi's successful underground efforts, she is proud to have signed a deal in 2008 with EMI Mexico.

Her skillful directorial debut with the music video for her hit song "Your Eyes", which she also wrote, produced and edited, got Shirley Levi chosen as one of the top female music video directors in the country to shoot a pilot for VH1’s up-coming reality show “Clash of the Music Videos”. The show put top directors from around the country in a competition to recreate a famous music video from the past. Shirley worked with other directors on remaking the video for DEVO's hit song "Whip it". Shirley is also currently developing a documentary style reality show of her own, which will chronicle her struggles within the music industry and the making of her album "BREAK FREE". In addition, Re-Bel Games, a division of Re-Bel Visionary Music, is developing a multiplayer music game, which could very well set a new model for the struggling music business.

I came out of my mother's womb knowing I was supposed to make music, sing and perform. I knew this before I knew how to speak. I started playing music by teaching myself how to play guitar and, even though I knew very little English, I began composing lyrics and melodies at the age of ten. My parents moved our family to America just as I entered the first grade. I feel blessed to have started my life in the U.S. English became my first language and means of expression, but my ethnic background still roams in my blood. Shirley's music and work contain powerful, positive and mystical messages that speak a universal language with no barriers, reaching all demographics, faiths, and cultures. - Shirley Levi

English is her primary language, but Shirley also sings in Hebrew, Spanish and Farsi. Shirley is known for the uplifting, spiritual and inspiring messages that are found in her music and for being an advocate for autism awareness and other charities. Although she fuses many styles and cultures, her music is very accessible to the mainstream. Her powerful and timeless music is filled with heartfelt melodies and unique vocals, which blend western and world influences. Her music has been compared to everyone from Madonna to Depeche Mode, yet her distinct style sets her apart from everyone. Her music is theatrical and dramatic. Unlike most artists who stick with the same formula, Shirley's songwriting, production, and emotional dynamic in her vocals and melodies are extremely diverse. Shirley's intense stage presence and attitude outshines even seasoned performers. The energy displayed in Shirley's live performance has been compared to Elvis, Michael Jackson, Patti Smith, David Bowie, Annie Lennox and Mick Jagger.

Shirley moved to the US when she was five and had to overcome many social and cultural obstacles because she did not speak the language. She taught herself how to paint and to write, produce and perform music and began to realize that the things that made her different were actually her strengths, not her weaknesses. After experimenting in the San Diego underground music circuit with DJs, eclectic musicians and participating in spontaneous live performances, Shirley moved to Los Angeles, and began making her mark around town by performing sold out shows at venues such as the The Opium Den, The Knitting Factory, and House of Blues.

My album Break Free contains inspirational lyrics for anyone who is following their dream. The entire album represents just that. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF FIRST and see your vision through. I gave birth to my songs unconsciously in that I was just expressing what was going on inside me for survival and then realized once the album was completed and recorded that they are all about my struggles and quest to be heard; To move the vision of myself forward into reality. I had so many faithless influences, which as I look back at in retrospect served as G-d's intention to make me fight as hard as I could. Now the songs serve others in their own personal mission to make their dreams become a tangible reality and to inspire them to believe in themselves first. Of course love is quite present in my work as well. I am definitely a lover at heart. Who says you can't be a lover and a fighter? - Shirley Levi

To meet Shirley Levi is to meet a beautiful, high-spirited, intelligent artist who is simply trying to make a positive change in the world, to uplift spirits and to bring people closer to their true calling. She is not a radical trying to overthrow a government or topple a theocracy. She is just fighting to have a voice; fighting for freedom as a female artist. Her underground spirit and originality give hope to all other artists who don't fit into any specific genre of music yet can achieve great recognition and have a large worldwide audience.

I take my deep, spiritual, and visionary ideas and simplify them in my music so they can be easily recognized to inspire and help people to move the vision of themselves forward into a tangible reality.- Shirley Levi

Run as fast as you can! Hand in hand with life! Re-Bel - Shirley Levi

Could you please set me free? The angels gave me melodies. I remember feeling so high, I remember touching the sky. My heart spoke it's word! I really need to be heard! Office In The Sky - Shirley Levi

Rip the veil off my eyes! Machine gunned all your fucking lies! I've crossed the line I'm feeling fine! I HAVE A CHOICE, GIVING ME A VOICE! Cross The Line - Shirley Levi

Shirley Levi has overcome many of the bias set upon her as a woman from a foreign country to become an important musician and much more: She is also developing her own apparel company called "T-Shirley". Her T-Shirleys will cross promote her album, "BREAK FREE" and its inspirational messages and also feature her original designs on t-shirts, accessories and on her signature sunglasses. One of her main logos, "THE BOXER", represents her message to "STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE!" Because Shirley had very little money for wardrobe, she began to create her signature look by just painting her clothes like canvas. Realizing that her signature look had broad appeal, she decided to launch a division of apparel and accessories for her fans.

Her spirit is a glowing example of what anyone can do as long as they never stop fighting for what they believe in. Her music isn't just soul-less pop. This is why Shirley Levi is one of the most important musical artists of her generation. Shirley formed "Music on my Shoulder", a charity which uses the proceeds from her song "Anne Marie" to raise money for autism awareness. Her message of hope has spread into many hearts because of her tireless efforts and her special radio interviews with Autismone.org and television appearances on Telemundo.
