In 2009 Levon worked directly with Brian LeBarton of Beck and Grammy-winning engineer Daryl Thorpe (Radiohead / Outkast) to produce original music for "Wet" resulting in a nomination for "Best Audio" by the Canadian Video Game Awards. Today Levon Louis produces and releases independent music from his own label, Mushroom Lounge Recordings.
