Breaking into the music scene with an unmistakable heritage, Shalom Dovber, the son of Grammy-Nominated artist Matisyahu, is making his debut on the Grooverelly platform. Named after a famous Hasidic Rabbi, Shalom carries the essence of his name, translating to ‘peaceful bear’ in Hebrew and Yiddish. Born in Brooklyn, NY, at just 17 years old, Shalom is poised to carve his path in the music industry after spending the first half of his life touring with his renowned father.
Growing up surrounded by the harmonies and rhythms of his father’s music, Shalom’s journey began on the road, absorbing the energy of live performances and honing his musical instincts. Now, as a teenager, he’s stepping into the spotlight with a musical career of his own. Shalom’s inaugural single, “Wasted Time,” offers a glimpse into the young artist’s introspective journey. The track delves into the struggles of finding one’s identity in the shadow of a Grammy-Nominated father and an older brother who has paved a musical legacy. The lyrics resonate with determination and resilience, with Shalom declaring, “Break me, hate me, you will never kill me… Wasted Time, it could never change me.”
Shalom’s entry into the music scene is not just about breaking free from the shadows of his family’s success; it’s a declaration of independence and a commitment to forging his unique musical identity. At 17, he is on a mission, and “Wasted Time” is the sonic testament to his determination and unyielding spirit. Be sure to stream “Wasted Time” linked below!
