Pop Levi (born Jonathan Pop Levi in London ^[1]) is an English singer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and filmmaker. Pop Levi's career started in Liverpool. He was the founding member, along with Snap Ant and Loka, of Super Numeri, and has played bass for Ladytron both on record and on tour. Pop Levi was listed as one of Lauren Laverne's favourite artists to make it big in 2007 on BBC2's The Culture Show. He released a solo album, The Return to Form Black Magick Party on February 2, 2007. 2008's single Dita Dimoné was made BBC6 Record Of The Week and Levi's second solo album, entitled Never Never Love, was released in August of the same year on Counter Records.

2008 also saw the birth of Levi's World Empire, Inc. film and music production company. In September, the 37th Festival Nouveau Cinema in Montréal held the world premiere of You Don't Gotta Run, a surreal 37-minute featurette directed by auteur Lucky Beaches and starring Pop Levi.
