About Mordechai Shapiro: Mordechai Shapiro is a New York-based singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Formerly a soloist with the Miami Boys Choir, he is among the most popular voices on the Jewish music scene. His videos for songs such as 2017’s “Machar” and 2019’s “Hakol Mishamayim” (co-written with Miriam Israeli and the title track of his third album), have racked up millions of views for their insightful and uplifting narratives.
He self-produced the video for “Schar Mitzvah,” which went viral in the Jewish community. It led to his independently released 2016 debut album, Kol Haderech, with a focus on releasing accessible, well-produced videos. 2017’s Machar was led by a self-composed single of the same title. Its message of resilience, and not giving up before the miracle happens, earned him his first big hit in the Jewish music market. It charted internationally and its video rang up more than three million views. In 2019, he issued the video single “Friends,” a humorous documentary that featured his skydiving trip with star vlogger Meir Kay. It was followed by “Hakol Mishamayim,” the lead track for a 15-track namesake album. The full-length landed well inside the Top Ten on the Jewish music charts.
