Born in Israel, Levy began his career as a singer and music performer in various clubs around Tel Aviv. He also appeared in the musical Hair. During the 1970s, Levy performed in France for a duet known as "Shuki & Aviva". Together with his partner Aviva Paz he scored a hit single throughout Europe called "Signorina - Concertina" which sold 2 million copies.

Levy and then-partner Haim Saban managed the now-defunct Saban Entertainment, a production company responsible for 1990s-era series Masked Rider, VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and the Power Rangers franchise. The company would be sold to The Walt Disney Company by the end of the decade.

Levy is noted for his prolific career in composing music; he has a total of 14 Gold and Platinum records, and has composed theme tunes for more than 130 TV shows, which makes him the world record holder in this regard.
