Lipa Schmeltzer is a dynamic and innovative Hasidic Jewish singer, composer, and entertainer, known for blending traditional Jewish music with a wide range of contemporary styles, including pop, rock, techno, and hip-hop. Often referred to as the “Hasidic Lady Gaga” for his flamboyant stage presence and boundary-pushing performances, Lipa has gained a reputation for breaking the mold of conventional Jewish music while staying rooted in his cultural and religious identity. Singing mostly in Yiddish—with occasional Hebrew and English—his lyrics often mix humor, inspiration, and messages of faith.
Born and raised in New York to a Hasidic family, Lipa began his musical career in the early 2000s and quickly rose to fame in the Orthodox Jewish world. Over the years, he has released numerous albums and singles, becoming a staple at Jewish weddings and communal events. Beyond music, Lipa is also known for his educational pursuits and community involvement, having studied at colleges like Columbia University later in life. With a devoted following and a talent for reinvention, he continues to be a prominent figure in Jewish entertainment.
