Mister G (Ben Gundersheimer) is a Latin GRAMMY Award-winning artist, author, activist and educator. Hailed as βa bilingual rock starβ by the Washington Post, he was originally dubbed “Mister G” by his young students while pursuing a Master of Education degree. His dynamic, interactive bilingual performances aim to dissolve borders and foster cross-cultural connections.
PJ Library has commissioned Mister G to create two albums of original, Jewish-themed family music. The Mitzvah Bus (Parents’ Choice Gold Award-winner) and Seeds of Shalom have been sent to tens of thousands of families throughout the world, making Mister G one of the most distributed Jewish artists of all time.
Also an author, Ben has published two picture books with Penguin Random House based on his original, bilingual songs. “SeΓ±orita Mariposa” chronicles the extraordinary migration of the monarch butterflies from Canada to Mexico, while “Lilah Tov Good Night” is a lyrical lullaby which celebrates the beauty of our world and the spirit of resilience in a refugee family.
