MORGENSHTERN

Alisher Tagirovich Morgenshtern (né Valeyev;; born 17 February 1998), known professionally as Morgenshtern, is a Russian-Israeli rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer. In June 2026, he legally changed his name to Israel Yehuda Morgenshtern following his conversion to Judaism. He first gained fame in 2017 through parodies of popular music artists of the time, which he published on YouTube. In 2018, he abandoned this format to release original music, building his subsequent career on his own material. His work is often accompanied by eccentric PR campaigns, and his public persona, performances, and controversial stunts have frequently attracted attention from the media and government officials. In addition to his music career, Morgenshtern co-founded the Moscow restaurants "Kaif Provenance" and "Kaif Burger" (both of which closed in 2022), and established the Telegram-based media outlet "Not Morgenshtern".
