the professional alias of Levi Schaudt, a Denver-based music producer and recording artist. He gained significant traction as an independent artist
He is known for a melodic, relatable style that often addresses personal experiences and mental health themes.
Early Life
Levi's life consisted of any regular child. School full time, joint custody between parents and grew up around music. Levi's father had been in a variety of different bands and collectives througout his childhood, which sparked his love for creativity and the community that music creates. Towards early teenage years, Levi picked up music himself and started audio engineering and general producing for others. The workload was something he loved and he worked to the bone helping people find the sound they wanted. A few years later, he took it up one step and saved for basic studio equipment and started to record his own music with the knowledge he was given throughout the last years he spent working with other artists. He involved everyone with his art, and picked up a few friends along the way.
Labels and Collectives
As of late in burials career, he had been apart of many different collectives and labels that helped him get to where he is now. He started with his first deal from a collective called “Loner Boy Records”, which gave him the ability to work with artists within his range of music. Soon after, he separated himself from that group of people and was hungry for more. Later on, his early friend began a collective full of new artists and was given the name, “SiNGnG”. This collective was a mixture of Screamo, Rap, and even techno music in the later days of it's short-lived arrival. It soon went down after some of the artists went M.I.A due to their personal life getting in the way of their music. Bright then joined a Record Label under the name, “Royalty Records Entertainment”, which gave him the push he needed to kickstart his career even farther. His early release, “Like Damn” caught attention off of Social Media and boosted his recognition just the amount he needed to give himself the confidence he was looking for. From every release up to the point of his EP, “Lost Verses and Throw Aways”, he had been releasing under “Royalty Records Entertainment” until he had gotten news that the Label was being shut down and “Re-invented”. From here, Burial was on his own. He soon after started his own collective under the name, “Karnal”, which has a wide variety of artists that he's worked with since he had started with his career, plus new ones that he had met along the way. Karnal is still up and running to this day and has the idea to help the artists on the roster “grow together”, rather apart from each other.
