In the decision for the topic of my project, I wanted to find an artist who had the ability to synthesize my culture and the cultures that infuse modern society. it wasn’t long before I decided to explore the singer Matisyahu. I felt that Matisyahu’s musical journey teaches people how life isn’t black and white. People in their own spiritual journeys can, and should incorporate other cultures, and other elements they experience in their lives that can enhance their own personal growth. Matisyahu’s incorporation of Jamaican style music and lyrics related to Jewish concepts is fascinating and enjoyable for music listeners of all backgrounds.
