Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Christopher Levario aka Complete is a business owning filmmaker, artist, dj, producer and video editor from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Complete hosts The Complete Show on Mixcloud and Soundcloud, which dj sets dropping bi-weekly. When he's not dj'ing, Complete is running his business shooting web and television content for brands like Chevrolet, Mission Foods, Ferrari, Harley-Davidson, Nissan, Toyota, Penske, Honda, Kia, and many more. My path started with success in Breakdancing, Dj Contests, and Heavy Metal bands out of high school, after a change of heart due to income, I chased a film degree at The Art Institute of Dallas, my experience in music made me a phenomenal video editor as I quickly became the biggest lo budget video directors in Dallas/Fort Worth, shooting and editing over 250 music videos in 6 years by myself. Every time I filmed somebodies music video, in the back of my mind, I had already paid my dues in music, so I always felt like I could do it better even though I started shooting music videos for artists like Redfoo/LMFAO, Bun B, Play-N-Skillz, A Bay bay, Juvenile, Yo Gotti, and Jim Jones. When my film production went corporate and hit some success, I stopped doing music videos and devised a game plan to bring back the turntables and beat machines. Breakdancing, Dj, Film, Producer, Scratcher, and Filmmaker makes the name Complete. Now with financial backing and a video skill set to market my own brand, the social media posts are now getting some major attention as we drop new content daily.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences range from Beastie Boys, Deftones, Three Six Mafia, Wiz Khalifa , Snoop Dogg, 50 cent, to Rage against the Machine growing up. In my high school days, I was battling everybody and winning breakdance/ dj scratch competitions. Everybody came to my house parties to hear me spin, and everybody came to the auditorium to watch me breakdance every lunch. There was a 8 year hiatus in music as I focused on being a filmmaker due to complications with a local studio mogul. Thoughout that time my best friend kept up with the EDM scene and was always telling me to jump back to music. In this new age of music I really enjoy trap/ edm/ rap producers that have a unique, rugged, groove, feel to their music with artists like Borgore, Slander, Riot Ten, Troy Boi, Diplo, Flosstradamus and too many more to name. I'm always down for a heavy sound and bass.
What´s new right now?

My video posts are starting to bring me more business with local startup companies around the USA, and I have partnered with schools and church mentorship programs teaching kids how to film and be entrepreneurs. I couldn't do any of this without my beautiful wife and two boys who support me through our journey.
