Drummer Levon Washington grew up on the South Side of Chicago. His early love of banging on pots and pans as a child led to a life-long career in music and pro audio. In 1994 he moved to San Francisco to enhance his career. He quickly acclimated to the music scene and has performed with more than 25 bands - some of which toured across the the USA. He also made a career in the pro-audio and backline industry after graduating from California Recording Institute in 1996. After many years of wanting to play in a jazz band, he got his break when he joined COPUS and now you can't wipe the smile off his face! Influences include Dennis Chambers, Tony Williams, Stuart Copeland, Harvey Mason, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.
