Personal life

Matthew Paul Miller was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and his family moved to White Plains, New York shortly after his birth. As a child, his parents sent him several times to Jewish classes, a kind of Sunday school, which he refused. Overall, however, he was not brought up religiously.

At 14 Miller began to live the life of a hippie, wore dreadlocks and learned to beatbox in the schoolyard. But soon he felt a great emptiness in his life. He decided to make a camping trip to Colorado. The landscape there impressed him so much that he began to believe in God and eventually traveled to Israel in search of spirituality. In Jerusalem, he began to build a deeper connection with God and his Jewish faith.

Back in White Plains, it was difficult for Matisyahu to maintain his faith there. He left school and followed the band Phish on their tours. During this time he thought a lot about his life and faith. When he returned home, his parents sent him to a school in the wild for two years to restore order to his wildlife. There Matisyahu took the opportunity to work on his musical skills, especially reggae and hip-hop.

Later Matisyahu attended the New York School, where he took part in the theater, among other things. In the Carlebach Synagogue, he finally got to know Hasidism and started praying on the school roofs during the breaks.

But it was the encounter with a rabbi of the Chabad movement that finally turned Matthew Miller into Matisyahu. He became a follower of Chabad Hasidism and moved to Crown Heights.

“I think there is a tendency for people to get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.”

Matisyahu studied in the Hadar Hatorah Jeshiva the Torah. During this time he began to write and record his first album. His musical influences include Bob Marley, Phish and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.

In 2007 Matisyahu announced that he was looking for alternative ways of worship in the Hasidic movement. He is currently particularly interested in the church of Pinsk-Karlin in Jerusalem. Matisyahu is married to Tahlia and has two sons with her. He lives with his family, who accompany him on his tours, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He also has a younger sister named Julie.

As of 2019, Matisyahu’s net worth is roughly $13 Million.
