Android 10+ second black screen on start up

I'm having an issue with Unity taking forever to start up. I have the splash screen disabled. My first scene is just 1 image that says loading while my main scene is set for an loadlevelasync. However all I see is a black screen for about 10 secs then my first loading screen for like .25 seconds before it just into my main scene. It is like it is loading my main scene and not my loading screen scene first. Any idea what could be causing this? I know no user is going to want to wait at a black screen for 15 seconds without any feedback on what is going on. I followed suggest about audio compress and all the other optimization I could find online but still no luck.

 

so if you disable loadlevelasync, it displays your loader scene faster?
