The American singer and songwriter Matisyahu is from New York City. On a recent trip to Hawaii for a show, he found a street musician who was singing his song “One Day.” Matisyahu is Jewish and was once a Hasidic Jew. Men who are Hasidic Jews wear simple black and white clothing. They also let hair grow on their face. As a result, Hasidic men have beards. But in recent years, Matisyahu cut off his beard, and colored his dark hair blond. He also started wearing more colorful clothing. So today Matisyahu does not stand out as much in a crowd. The street musician did not realize the songwriter was standing nearby when he started playing “One Day.” Music producer Stu Brooks, who plays guitar, was with Matisyahu at the time.
