Steve Lieberman (born 1958) (also known as the Gangsta Rabbi) is a Jewish-American punk rock singer, musician, composer and producer residing in Long Island, New York. Considered an outsider musician,[1] "walking the line between insanity and genious [sic]",[2] partially attributed to his life-long struggle with bipolar disorder,[3] he has released 21 CDs[4] and has shared the stage with Weezer, Andrew WK, Glassjaw, Ryan Dunn and the Misfits before retiring from performing in December 2011 to battle accelerated phase bone marrow cancer.[5]

In 2009, Lieberman signed a multi-album deal with Jewish indie label JDub Records.[6] As of the spring of 2011, Lieberman, a town comptroller by trade, was "the world's only orthodox Jewish heavy metal musician with a record deal", according to Newsday.[7]

Lieberman's 2010 song "No Festival of Lights (On This Hanukkah)" has received honorable mention placement in the Song of the Year Award[8] as well as airplay on Rich Russo's Anything Anything
