Draft:Jonah Marc Levine

Film and documentary work

While living in New York City, Levine co-wrote and directed a series, B-Sides, and received an Award of Recognition from the IndieFEST Film Awards in 2018.^[6] B-Sides was also an official selection of the Official Latino Short Film Festival. The project was later screened at independent film festivals including Lift-Off New York in 2019.^[7]

When Levine moved to Byron Bay, Australia in 2019, he worked at Howl and Moan Records on weekends while documenting the local music scene. He founded a local independent record label, Bolt Records, which collaborated with Howl and Moan, to throw events and build a strong local community for the arts.^[8][9] In collaboration with artist Jimmy Davis, Levine filmed a documentary series. Howl and Moan: From Store to Stage, which was focused on the development of the local music scene.^[2] Fall’s Festival’s local stage, curated by Howl and Moan Records, funded the documentary series and followed Mario Fraietta’s curation of 4-nights of the festivals’ programming.^[10]

Music production and performance

In early 2020, under the moniker Marc Creek, Levine released an indie-folk EP titled Acres. The entire EP was recorded with Shure SM57’s in his room while collaborating digitally with musicians in California, Melbourne, New York City, and North Carolina.^[11]

In 2021, while living in North Carolina, Levine co-produced and performed in the experimental music duo H A U N T E R alongside Sander Bryce. Their album Dream the Day Away was a sprawl of future beats, electronic hip-hop and experimental neo soul compositions across 22-tracks. When Levine joined the solo project and turned it into a duo, he shifted the focus to hip-hop grooves and textured, psychedelic experimentation for different vocalists.^[12][13] H A U N T E R's records were often collaborative works, sometimes consisting of featured vocalists on every track.^[14] The project was an organic and sample-based approach to jazz and hip-hop.^[15] Through H A U N T E R, Levine began working closely with Lo Artiz.^[16][17][18] Soon after the release of this record, Levine stumbled across a hip-hop collective in Los Angeles via Instagram, which prompted him to move to Los Angeles from North Carolina.^[19][20]

Levine became the manager, drummer and producer for the Los Angeles–based collective NOFUN!. The 10-person group ethos was to come together and be a community.^[19] Under his management and live show production, NOFUN! toured with national acts, such as Atmosphere, and played venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater, Lollapalooza Paris, Rock Werchter, Latitude Festival, Electric Picnic and Isle of Wight Festival.^{[21][22][23][24][19][25]} NOFUN!’s live show is often classified as infectiously upbeat, with its genre described as ranging from alternative rock to bedroom pop to West Coast hip-hop.^[26]

In late 2025, Levine chose to pursue producing music full-time. Most recently, Levine produces and cowrites with Christopher Mansfield for musical project Fences, contributing to video production and releasing albums including Prairie Tremens and Now She's Long Gone Sun Squint.^[27] Levine encourages featured vocalists and collaborations in his work with Fences.^[28]

Levine also collaborates with DJ Superior on The Rise of Dark Man X, an archival presentation centered on unreleased material from the late rapper DMX.^[29][30] He also co-produces DMX music with Superior, which is slated for release in 2026.^[31][32]
