Artist Spotlight: Jette Parker Young Artist Levi Miller

Levi, also known as Jeans or Levy, is 22 years young and was born and raised in Sydney. He grew up in Penrith at the bottom of the Blue Mountains alongside his older brother who became a mechanic. Levi took a completely different path to his sibling, and owes his dancing journey to ‘The Wiggles’. However, in an alternate reality Levi always wanted to be a crime scene investigator, a stark difference to a career in ballet! He grew up with every style of dance, and eventually focused on full time ballet training before his first big break with Queensland Ballet just recently in 2025. 

Levi’s ideal day in Brisbane involves sunshine and a temperature of 30 degrees. You can find Levi on a long outdoor walk, diving into a good book, hanging with pals or enjoying hour long phone chats with his mum in his spare time. His family recently relocated to Nambucca Heads to be closer to his grandma, and he loves visiting them there as they are able to spend every day at the beach. Although he adores the outdoors, a trip to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios is at the top of his bucket list!

Levi’s go-to brunch spot in Brisvegas is Obagel in Southbank, in close proximity to QPAC for pre-performance fuel. If you see Levi with airpods in his ears he is most likely pumping some 2000’s pop hits, his usual playlist of choice for a warming up before a show. His ultimate post-performance comfort food is salt and vinegar chips!

Levi can disclose an on-stage fail during the most recent season of Elastic Hearts by Garry Stewart, when his blonde bob wig fell off mid performance. He also reveals that he has never had more fun on stage than in this particular season, whilst simultaneously being exhausted dancing to the incredible music by musical legend, Sia!
