Matisyahu overturns stereotypes

The concept of a Hasidic Jewish reggae singer may be an odd one, but one young man from New York is overturning the stereotypes.

Matisyahu, 26, saw his debut studio album go to No 4 in the US Billboard Charts and is now considered by many to be one of the most influential Jewish people in America.

The music of Matisyahu, formerly known as Matthew Miller, is described as an "uncanny, electrifying fusion of orthodox Judaism and classic reggae music" according to his website.

Born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and raised in White Plains, New York, his new album Youth was produced by legendary reggae and dub producer Bill Laswell, with additional production by Jimmy Douglass and Ill Factor.

On his website he says: "Lyrically, I wanted to expand on ideas that I touched upon on the first album, to get deeper into those things, to get to the essence.

"Members of the band wrote the music together, different people brought different things to the table, and everyone contributed creatively."
