Matisyahu

Some people are born different, others come to this world to support and love them. Matthew Paul Miller or Matisyahu on the stage does stand out of the crowd of other vocalists. Being Jewish through and through he manages to blend incredible things and styles of music! His reggae with a good deal of alternative rock and a whiff of traditional Jewish themes sounds like no other blends you have been offered before!

Matthew was born on June 30, 1979 in West Chester, Pennsylvania (USA). His parents brought him up in a very traditional way – the boy was a typical Reconstructionist Jew who attended Hebrew school at Bet Am Shalom, a synagogue in White Plains. When Matthew was a child his parents settled in White Plains in Westchester County, New York. His life was too boring and his parents were too rigid that is why as a teen Matisyahu began to rebel – he started taking drugs and dropped out of his High School and went away with the rock band Phish following it on tour. Fortunately, Matthew was too smart to give up his aducation – after some rebellious months he managed to finish high school at a wilderness program in Bend, Oregon.

No matter how sad his yearly years were, Matisyahu took part in a two month-long program for students who wished to explore Jewish heritage at the Alexander Muss High School (Israel) in autumn of 1995 and this program changed his views for good. Matisyahu finally made up his mind to adopt Orthodox Judaism. In 2001 he became a Baal Teshuva and found his way first to the Carlebach Shul on the West Side of Manhattan and then to Chabad of Washington Square.

This is the time when Matisyahu began playing with the Jewish band Pey Dalid. From 2001 to July 2007, Matisyahu was connected with the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. Since 2004, he has released three studio albums and two live albums, two remix CDs and two DVDs featuring live concerts.

In November 2009, NBC used Matisyahu‘s song “One Day” as background music for their advertisement of the Olympic games. This stirred up speculation that “One Day” may become the theme song for the 2010 Olympics. However, it remained only NBC’s top pick, and was not announced to be the theme song. In 2011 he embarked on a concert tour where he presented his fusions of rap, beatboxing, jazz scat singing and Judaism’s unique style of songful prayers. Now you have a unique chance to download all Matisyahu videos for free to appreciate his tremendous works full of pure love and emotion.
