Matisyahu was born Matthew Paul Miller on June 30, 1979, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, but grew up in White Plains, New York. By the time he was a teenager, Miller was living the life of a hippie and enjoyed the company of "Deadheads." Miller grew up as a Reconstructionist Jew, but a camping trip to Colorado revealed a hidden spirituality that hadn't been previously known to him. Intrigued, Matisyahu took advantage of a semester-long Jewish heritage program in Israel. The trip strengthened the feelings Miller had found in Colorado, and he adopted Orthodox Judaism. However, when Matisyahu returned to New York, he found himself unable to deal with his new religious connection and ended up dropping out of high school and following a national Phish tour. When he returned, Miller's parents insisted he attend a wilderness school in Oregon to figure out his life.

At the school, Matisyahu was encouraged to explore his creative side, so he studied up on reggae and hip-hop and developed the style he is known for today. Two years later, he graduated with his spirituality intact and future career plans laid out. Matisyahu moved to New York City and studied at The New School, where he further developed his talent. While in New York, he happened upon the Carleback Shul synagogue, where he even further finetuned his music.

In 2004, Matisyahu signed with JDub records and began recording his first album. Shake Off the Dust…Arise was released in October 2004. Although it failed to chart in the U.S., the album did catch the eye of many and gained Matisyahu many fans. This was reflected when his first live album, Live at Stubb's, reach #30 on the U.S. Billboard charts. His big break came in June 2005, when he was invited to do a guest spot at the 2005 Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival by Trey Anastasio of Phish. After this, Matisyahu's career took off. He toured throughout 2005 and 2006, including opening a show for Sting.

Matisyahu's newfound success only got greater with the release of his second studio album, Youth, released in March 2006. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified gold. The album spawned two singles, "Youth" and "King Without a Crown." "Youth" reached #19 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart, and "King Without a Crown" reached #7 on the Modern Rock Chart, #28 on the U.S. Hot 100, #13 on the Hot Digital Songs chart, and #27 on the Pop 100. The success of the second studio album and "King" has ensured Matisyahu a place among some of the most popular artists of the time. Mixing a style that includes reggae, rap, rock music, guitar solos, and taking influences from Bob Marley, Phish, and Rabbi Shlomo Carleback, Matisyahu has a little bit of something nearly everyone can enjoy.

Artist Info

When Matisyahu emerged in 2004 with his debut album, Shake Off the Dust...Arise, his musical persona seemed a novelty to some. Here was a Hasidic Jew -- dressed in a black suit with a broad-brimmed black hat worn over a yarmulke, and sporting a full, untrimmed beard -- who nevertheless performed toasting raps about the glories of traditional Judaism over reggae beats in a dancehall style directly from Jamaica. Moreover, he punctuated his performances with stage diving. It may have seemed like a joke at first, but Matisyahu was serious about his craft, and his diverse style soon garnered Grammy nominations, gold record certifications, and a broad audience.
Matisyahu was born Matthew Miller on June 30, 1979, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. His family moved to Berkeley, California, which they eventually ditched for White Plains, New York. Miller initially rebelled against his traditional Jewish upbringing, considering himself a Deadhead and a hippie by his early teens. But at the age of 14, during a camping trip in Colorado, he reconciled himself to Judaism and visited Israel shortly thereafter. After returning to White Plains, he dropped out of high school and traveled the country to attend Phish concerts. Back at home again, he agreed to let his parents send him to a wilderness school in Bend, Oregon, where he became enamored of reggae and hip-hop, and began rapping at open-mike competitions. He returned to New York at 19 to attend the New School for Social Research in Manhattan, but also joined the Carlebach Shul, a synagogue where his musical interests were encouraged. Meeting a Lubavitch rabbi, he became interested in the strict Lubavitch Hasidic sect of Judaism and renamed himself Matisyahu.
Continuing to perform, Matisyahu assembled a backing band consisting of guitarist Aaron Dugan, bassist Josh Werner, and drummer Jonah David. The group recorded Shake Off the Dust...Arise, which was released by JDub Records in 2004. While touring in support of the album, Matisyahu recorded one of his February 2005 concerts and released the material as Live at Stubb's, which was issued in April courtesy of Or Music before getting picked up for national distribution by Epic Records. Epic reissued it on August 23, 2005, as Matisyahu toured around the country and prepared a second studio album with producer Bill Laswell. The final product, Youth, appeared in March 2006 and was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Reggae Album. A simultaneously released dub version of the album was made available to mail-order customers.
Meanwhile, Matisyahu's backing musicians chose to release additional material on their own, adopting the name Roots Tonic for the side project. Roots Tonic Meets Bill Laswell marked the group's debut in May 2006, and by the end of the year the EP/DVD combo No Place to Be was also released. Jonah David dropped out of the band in June 2007, however, and Roots Tonic effectively disbanded, despite the enlistment of replacement drummer Skoota Warner. The entire group (sans David) turned its focus back to Matisyahu instead, and Light marked the singer's third LP upon its release in August 2009. Two years later, Live at Stubb's, Vol. 2 would appear, this time with a companion DVD release. In late 2011, the singer posted a picture with a shaved head and payes cut with the caption, "No more Chassidic reggae superstar." As such, his 2012 effort Spark Seeker was more secular pop, and was produced by Kool Kojak, who had previously worked with Kesha and Nicki Minaj. In 2014, Matisyahu released his fifth LP, Akeda. The tracks had been written while on tour and then recorded at Studio G with producer Stu Brooks.
