ABOUT
Yosef Weiss is a cultural bridge-builder—an artist whose music carries the soul of ancient traditions into the modern world. Born in Israel to a Hungarian-Czech father and a Yemenite mother, Yosef’s roots run deep and wide. Raised in the small farming village of Moshav Hodaya, he grew up surrounded by the melodies of Yemenite prayer, Israeli folk songs, and campfire harmonies that echoed through his community.
Roots & Rhythm
His life journey—from a youth spent singing with friends, through seven years in elite special forces units, to his current home base in Miami—shaped not only his perspective, but his sound. Yosef’s music blends reverence for the past with a fresh, contemporary edge. Each song feels like a conversation between generations, grounded in authenticity and longing for connection.
Stories in Song
His debut album, Shaya’s Stories, was born out of a special collaboration with Yeshaya Bitan, the father of Yosef’s best friend. Their partnership represents more than just music—it’s a meeting of memory, wisdom, and modern storytelling. Together, they crafted a six-track album that touches hearts across cultural lines.
Forged in Service
His music emerges from years in elite special forces. The brotherhood, intensity, and discipline of combat operations resonate through every track he creates. He carries the memory of fallen comrades in his melodies, transforming experiences into art.
Today, Yosef continues to perform, record, and share his evolving sound with audiences worldwide. With two new singles released and more on the way, he’s available for performances, speaking engagements, and collaborative projects that align with his mission: to bring harmony, heritage, and heartfelt music to the world.
