Biography

Werdyger grew up in the Crown Heights and Boro Park neighborhoods of Brooklyn, attending yeshivas from grade school through kollel. At age 21 he joined his father's business, Aderet Records.[1]

Since 2005, Werdyger has been working on audio restoration of old albums. Though he lacks a college degree or professional training in sound engineering, he has re-mastered four CDs[4] worth of songs recorded by Cantor Yossele Rosenblatt, using computer software to clear off the scratchy distortions on the original records.[1][5][6]

Werdyger is married to Devorah Hinda Rozmarin. They have six children.[7][1] Their son Yisroel, also known as Sruli Werdyger, released his second album in 2010.[8]
