Fallen Sparks

Matisyahu, born Matthew Paul Miller on June 30, 1979, is a Jewish reggae and dub musician. Originally from West Chester, Pennsylvania, he grew up in White Plains, NY. Matisyahu's unique musical style combines traditional Jewish themes with modern reggae, rock, and hip hop sounds.
With his captivating blend of genres and thought-provoking lyrics, *Matisyahu* has become a prominent figure in the music industry. His ability to seamlessly fuse diverse influences has earned him comparisons to artists such as Ziggy Marley, Cas Haley, Ky-Mani Marley, and Stephen Marley.
*Matisyahu* stands out for his powerful performances that resonate with audiences worldwide. He shares similarities with renowned acts like Tribal Seeds, SOJA, Gentleman, Damian Marley, Alborosie,and Rebelution among others who have also left an indelible mark on the reggae scene.

Like only the most gifted storytellers, Matisyahu spins the rare kind of stories that simultaneously enlighten and enthral and expand the audience’s sense of possibility. On his eponymous new album, the Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter/rapper shares his most autobiographical work to date, merging that personal revelation with a shapeshifting collision of reggae and hip-hop and boldly inventive pop. Produced by Salt Cathedral (a Brooklyn-based duo comprised of Colombian musicians Juliana Ronderos and Nicolas Losada), the result is an undeniably transformative album, one that invites both intense introspection and unbridled celebration. 

On the album’s dancehall-infused lead single “Chameleon,” Matisyahu presents a potent piece of self-reflection spiked with equal parts idiosyncratic wordplay and warmly expressed wisdom (“Turn an evil eye inverted to let the light in/Illuminate the evil till dem heart get sizzlin’”). 

“Chameleon has two facets. On the one hand it is able to blend with its surroundings in order to survive without sticking out. On the other hand is the shedding of its coat in order to grow. The story line continues here as our protagonist must learn both the necessity to blend in it at times but also to continue to grow and change.”
