Moshe Reuven

Sheradsky was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida.[1] At a young age he was mainly known amongst family and friends for his abilities in basketball[2][3] and math.[4][5] Moshe wrote his first song at the age of 8 as a form of self-expression.[6][7] In high school, he began making music with his friends and recorded his first songs with Mr. Cheeks’s former producer, Hayden.[8] It was during his later years in high school and the beginning of college that Moshe began to seek a more spiritual path than he was accustomed to, delving more deeply into Orthodox Judaism.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

He received his rabbinic ordination at the Rabbinical College of America in 2021[6] after spending multiple years studying in various Yeshivas in America and Israel.[15][16][17] In 2018, inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he began writing on topics of Chassidus for Thrive Global & Live Kabbalah,[18][19] as well as sharing Chassidus on social media. He was appointed to this position after the founder of Live Kabbalah read his writings in The Huffington Post[20] and saw that he had a unique talent for blending Chassidic teachings with practical life. He quickly amassed a following primarily on Instagram sharing life wisdom from Chassidus and regular day to day life via quotes and music. He became the only Hasidic Jew and Rabbi on the platform to surpass 1 million followers.[21]

Moshe Reuven's first writings were published in The Huffington Post in 2017,[22] and he made his first contribution to Forbes[23] in 2018. In 2018 he joined the Forbes Technology Council and Young Entrepreneurs Council (YEC)[22], invite-only councils for founders and executives in companies[24][25] worth $1M or more. Primarily, Moshe was invited having been at the head of multiple technology startups having reached $1M+ in revenue or capital raise, as either a Founder, chief executive officer or CMO.[26] From 2020 to 2021, he contributed as a writer for Entrepreneur magazine.[27][28]

In 2020, Moshe released his debut single, "You Are Not Alone".[29][30] The song was aimed at helping those dealing with issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.[31] The song had a local and international impact,[32][33][34][35][36] with signs being placed alongside roads as a reminder to drivers, stating "You Are Not Alone." Over a year after its release, "You Are Not Alone" became a Billboard-certified single as part of a compilation that reached No. 22 on the Billboard charts for digital album sales.[37][38]

The success of "You Are Not Alone" caught the attention of a record executive at Create Music Group, Inc. Magazine's fastest growing company in California.[39][40] He was then connected with their team's A&R reps, who concluded that they should sign him. Upon signing his first record deal, Moshe became the 4th Orthodox Jew to sign to a top record label.[21][41] Create Music Group's roster of Create Music Artists include Future, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Dillion Francis, 6ix9ine, Tory Lanez, Migos, Bored Ape Club Member #9797[42] and Ice Spice.[43][44][45][46][47]

In 2022, Moshe released the song "Say" with Bob Marley's Grammy Nominated son, Julian Marley. Rolling Stone included Moshe Reuven in their Global Artist Spotlight,[48] highlighting the song "Say". Throughout the latter half of 2022, Moshe Reuven performed shows as large as 3,000 and 5,000 people strong,[49] as well as being brought throughout the United States for private performances. Moshe and Julian Marley performed together in Florida for the first time in mid-December.[50]
