Levi Clay, born in 1988 in Ipswich, UK, didn’t have music as a major part of his early life. That changed at 14 when he picked up the guitar—initially for fun—but it quickly grew into a serious passion.

By 15, inspired by guitar legends like Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, and Yngwie Malmsteen, Levi dedicated himself to mastering technique. Self-taught in music theory and sight-reading through books and magazines like Guitar Techniques, he also developed a fascination with diverse styles, from jazz to progressive metal.

In 2008, Levi moved to London to pursue a degree in popular music performance, balancing studies with playing live shows and learning from mentors like Martin Goulding. Within a year, he was teaching at The Guitar Institute, transcribing for JamTrackCentral, and writing for major outlets like Guitar Techniques.

Now an international best-selling author and renowned transcriber, Levi has worked with icons such as John Petrucci, Andy James, Guthrie Govan, and Rick Graham. His YouTube channel, with over 100,000 subscribers, showcases his expertise and teaching style.

Levi continues to travel globally as a performer, educator, and journalist, cementing his reputation as one of the busiest and most versatile guitarists in the industry.
