Matisyahu Biography
Matisyahu, born Matthew Paul Miller, is an American reggae musician. Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with reggae and rock sounds, Matisyahu is most recognizable for previously being a member of Chabad-Lubavitch, a chassidic group of Judaism.

Since 2004, he has released two studio albums (Shake off the Dust...Arise and Youth) as well as one live album, two remix CDs and one DVD featuring a live concert, and a number of interviews. The music, developed partly with his backing band Roots Tonic has a unique sound, mixing reggae, traditional rap, and guitar solos typical of rock music. In his expansive career, Matisyahu has teamed up with some of the biggest names in reggae production including Bill Laswell and duo Sly & Robbie.
Since his debut, Matisyahu has received positive reviews from both rock and reggae outlets including Top Reggae Artist of 2006 by Billboard and was named the "most intriguing reggae artist in the world" by Esquire . His sophomore album, Youth, became the number one digital album on Billboard's website upon its release in 2006. He has since released four additional albums: 2009's Light, 2012's Spark Seeker, 2014's Akeda and 2017's Undercurrent.
