Creativity is like afire in a fireplace: You have to tend it or it will go out. For nearly twodecades, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by evolving his sound,melding genres, and testing the limits of the musical traditions that haveinspired him. His latest release, Hold The Fire, and its leadoff single“Fireproof” takes inspiration from a fire dream inspired by Matisyahu's OldTestament religion, which has meant so much to his spiritual and creative lifesince his recording career began in 2004 and his breakout track "KingWithout a Crown" blasted into the Billboard charts in 2005. In a roundaboutway, those same Old Testament roots springboarded Matisyahu's music career.Growing up outside New York City, the young Matthew Miller followed jam bandslike Phish and the Grateful Dead. Then, in Bob Marley and reggae, he found thatthe messaging of Rastafarianism was sourced in part from that same OldTestament. The sound that emerged on his first albums—including his firsttwo studio releases as well as 2005's Gold-certified Live at Stubb's—embracedboth the spirit of reggae and his spirituality and roots in Judaism. Buoyed byhits like "King Without a Crown," albums like the Grammy-nominatedand Billboard No.1-ranked Youth in 2006, and the Gold-certified 2009antiwar hit "One Day" (streamed over 150 million times on Spotifyalone), he toured extensively through the second half of the aughts with ahigh-energy stage show that has since grown to include more improvisation. Allthe while his music expanded into a shapeshifting collision of reggae, hip-hop,alt rock and boldly inventive pop. Today, he continues to be inspired byevolving musical trends, finding linkages and loops between eras and genres. Matisyahu'sspirituality has evolved in parallel with his music, though his Jewish heritageremains a central theme throughout his life and music. The new EP, Hold The Fire (out February 2024),alsofinds him reflecting on celebrity and artistic success. For Matisyahu, “theunbelievable and miraculous feeling of being connected to our people” is whatkeeps the creative fire alight.
