Motty Steinmetz started out singing at friends' weddings and became one of the best-known voices in Hasidic music

Motty Steinmetz was born in Rehovot on 5 July 1992 and grew up in Bnei Brak. As a young man he sang at the bar mitzvahs and weddings of friends, and he began working with the musician and arranger Ruvi Banet, who has represented him ever since and manages him together with Naomi Banet; he sang at events where Banet's band played.

He became known in the mid-2010s, when he sang several songs by the composer Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, some of them with Mordechai Ben David, and performed at shows Rechnitz organised in the United States. His clip Tzeinah Ur'einah, released on 28 July 2015, is his most-watched, with more than 16 million views on YouTube by September 2026.

His debut album, HaNeshama BeKirbi, came out in November 2017 and went platinum within about half a year. In June 2018 he released Nafshi, a duet with Ishay Ribo, and that year he was named singer of the year in Hasidic music by the Kikar HaShabbat and Behadrei Haredim sites. His second album, Atik Yomin, followed on 1 January 2022, and his third, Emunah UBitachon, with 14 songs, in August 2025. In September 2026 he sang in Frankfurt with an orchestra led by Ruvi Banet and the Belgian choir Zamru.
