IRM is owned and operated by Producer/Engineer Tuviel Levi whose career in music began as a very young percussionist and multi-instrumentalist while visiting Nigeria, West Africa. The “Heartbeat” of Africa was infused in Tuviel during this extended stay where he would often join local drum circles and collaborate with traditional West African folk musicians, many of them masters, learning the various indigenous rhythmic styles of West Africa.
Years later Tuviel started interning, then assisting on recording sessions at Rich Bitch Studios (Black Sabbath, Steel Pulse) in Birmingham, England. While there, Tuviel had a chance encounter with renowned keyboardist Selwyn “Bumbo” Brown, one of the founding members of GRAMMY award winning Reggae Band “Steel Pulse”. His brief friendship with Selwyn and Steel Pulse’s lead singer David Hinds encouraged him to pursue production in a professional capacity.
After returning to the U.S., attending and graduating SAE Institute in California with a Bachelors of Science in Sound Arts | Audio Engineering, Tuviel began producing and composing for other indie Reggae artists. A few of Tuviel’s compositions garnered top 10 radio placements in his genre in New York, Florida and Jamaica.
Tuviel continues to produce and mix for other artists under his production company “Rock Steady Recording”. Some of the amazingly talented artists Tuviel has produced and mixed for include “X-Factor” finalist Chris Rene, GRAMMY award winning drummer/singer Bradley Brown, Adam Barnes, Michelle “Songbird” Gordon and Queen Makedah amongst others.
