Matisyahu’s talent to convey his traditionally Jewish rap lyrics and infuse them with reggae rhythms and hip-hop beats creates a holistic, truly unique demonstration of his musical abilities. Breaking into the music scene with the release of his first album, Shake Off the Dust…Arise (2004), Matisyahu began touring extensively. His shows are marked by his fusion of Orthodox Judaism, classic reggae, and beat boxing interludes, as well as the wild enthusiasm of his dedicated fans. For his second studio album, Youth, he received a 2006 Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album, as well as Billboard’s Top Reggae Artist of 2006. Matisyahu counts Rabbi Shlomo and Bob Marley among his music’s main influences.
Because of his creative manner of communicating his stance on social and religious issues, Matisyahu stands out as not only a talented musician, but also a respected individual.
