Matthew Miller was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania USA, on June 30th
1979; shortly after his birth, the Miller family moved to Berkeley, California
and eventually settled in White Plains, New York. By his teen years, Matthew
Miller took his first trip to Israel, this was a major turning point for
him; at the age of nineteen he returned to New York where he adopted the
name Matisyahu and started to develop the unique Reggae Hip-Hop sound
for which he would one day become known.
Matisyahu then put together a backing band featuring guitarist Aaron
Dugan, bass player Josh Werner and drummer Jonah David and in 2004, released
his first full-length album, "Shake Off The Dust... Arise",
through the non-profit record company JDub.
A year later, the group followed it up with the concert album, "Live
At Stubb's" which climbed into the top 30 of The Billboard 200 chart
thanks to the Modern Rock top 10 hit single "King Without A Crown".
In March 2006 Matisyahu released his second studio record, "Youth",
with the title-track being issued as a single.
