Aryeh Kunstler

He and Staiman co-wrote The Groggers' 2014 single, "Not Going to Shacharis".

In 2013, Kunstler, Yaakov Chesed bandmate Jake Polansky, Immanuel Shalev of The Maccabeats, and recording artist Simcha Leiner were judges at the third annual V'Ata Banim Shiru, an a cappella competition at Torah Academy of Bergen County that raises money for the Koby Mandell Foundation. That same year, he contributed to the Moshe Yess tribute album The Yess Legacy with a cover of "Coming Home".

He contributed guitar and arrangements to singer Benny Friedman's second album, Yesh Tikvah (2012). He was also featured in the video for the album's single "Maaleh Ani".

In 2010, he released his second solo album, Our Eyes Are On You, recorded with producer and former Genesis drummer Nir Zidkyahu.

Born into a musical family, Kunstler performed with his brother Dani in the group V'Havieinu before starting a solo career, releasing his debut album, From the Depths, in 2007. He also became the bassist for the rock band Yaakov Chesed. He currently plays guitar with the EvanAl Orchestra and is a record producer and arranger, having worked with artists including Benny Friedman, The Groggers, and Yosef Karduner.

In 2007, Kunstler released his debut solo album, From The Depths. Produced by Eli Yona, the album featured vocals from Dani and Lenny Solomon of Shlock Rock, as well as a song co-written with Peter Himmelman, "Show Me Your Love".

The same year, he became the bassist for Yeshiva University-based rock band Yaakov Chesed after previous bassist Dovi Salamon left to attend Yeshiva in Israel. Kunstler subsequently began touring with the band and has played on both of their albums, Rise Above (2007) and The Passage (2009).

In 2004, he began recording with Dani and several other singers under the name V'Havieinu. Although minimally involved in their first album, he became a prominent vocalist and arranger with the group starting with Vol. 2 (2006).

Aryeh Kunstler (born March 4, 1986; Belle Harbor, Queens, New York) is an American Orthodox Jewish singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, and composer.

Aryeh Kunstler was born on March 4, 1986 in Belle Harbor, Queens. His father, Avi Kunstler, was a professional singer, as was his brother Dani, a member of the Miami Boys Choir. Both were featured on the choir's first live album, Miami Experience 1 (1991), duetting on the song "K'rachem Av". Despite this, Aryeh initially had little interest in music, turning down offers to join the Choir and giving up guitar lessons after three months. He only began seriously pursuing music in seventh grade, when a friend who had just received a drumset for his bar mitzvah asked him to bring his guitar over for a jam session.
