Steve Lieberman (born 1958) (also known as the Gangsta Rabbi) is a Jewish-American punk rock singer, musician, composer and producer residing in Freeport, New York. Considered an outsider musician,[1] "walking the line between insanity and genious [sic]",[2] partially attributed to his lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder,[3] he has commercially released 22 CDs as well as 38 cassette albums in the underground.[4] On all his releases, Lieberman sang and played all instruments himself. In addition to guitar, bass and beats, he added flutes, various brass instruments and a variety of exotics.He has shared the stage with Weezer, Andrew WK, Glassjaw, Ryan Dunn and the Misfits before retiring from performing in December 2011 to battle accelerated phase bone marrow cancer.[5]
In 2009, Lieberman signed a multi-album deal with Jewish indie label JDub Records,[6] taking the place of Matisyahu on their artist roster. As of the spring of 2011, Lieberman, a town comptroller by trade, was "the worlds only orthodox Jewish heavy metal musician with a record deal", according to Newsday.[7]Have you performed in front of an audience?ANY OPEN MIC THAT HASSN'T BANNED ME YET
