Once again Cleveland, another great stageshow comes this way as Cleveland.com presents reggae artist, Matisyahu LIVE at The House of Blues THIS Sunday, December 14th. The show also features acts K'Naan and Trevor Hall.
Matthew Miller, a self-described “white suburban teenager,” grew up in White Plains, New York, to Jewish parents. He describes his teenage years as being filled with drugs while listening to hip-hop and reggae music.
Now, Matisyahu Miller, an observant Chassidic Jew and top-selling artist on the Sony-BMG label. The name, Matisyahu is an Ashkenazi Hebrew and Yiddish pronunciation of the Biblical name Matthew. The Modern Hebrew pronunciation is Mātityāhu. The name means gift of God.
Since 2004, he has released two studio albums, ‘Shake off the Dust…arise’ (2004) and ‘Youth’ (2006) with an upcoming 3rd album release scheduled for 2009. These albums include conscious tunes such as ‘King without a Crown’ and ‘Youth’.
Through his short 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. Most recently, he was named Top Reggae Artist of 2006 by Billboard Magazine as well as being named a spokesperson for Kenneth Cole
"All of my songs are influenced and inspired by the teachings that inspire me. I want my music to have meaning, to be able to touch people and make them think”, says Miller, “Chasidism teaches that music is 'the quill of the soul.' Music taps into a very deep place and speaks to us in a way that regular words can't.” (Source: wikipedia)
