Having formed in the multicultural hub of London, Livingston searched high and low to find their collective musical feet. With singer Beukes Willemse and a guitarist/keyboardist Chris van Niekerk from South Africa, guitarist/percussionist Jakob Nebel from Germany and bassist Phil Magee from the UK, it seemed almost impossible that their paths would cross. However, fate took hold when Willemse was reunited with Van Niekerk in London to find the missing pieces to the Livingston puzzle. The band has since also set up roots in Berlin and currently operates between the UK and Germany.

Finding their feet with 2008's debut 'Sign Language' and 2012's 'Fire To Fire' (Universal Music Germany), the band achieved numerous successes including Top 20 in the German Sales Charts and Number 1 Amazon & iTunes Rock Charts. Their single Broken went to the Top 20 and their second single Go was the official song for German national broadcaster ZDF during the winter Olympics of 2010.
