He is the son of cantor David Werdyger and uses the stage name Mordechai Ben David (Hebrew: מרדכי בן דוד, romanized: Mordocháy Ben-Davíd, lit. ’Mordechai, son of David’) or its initials, MBD. He is known as the “King of Jewish Music” and has released over 40 albums while performing internationally. He has headlined at charity concerts—including those of the HASC and Ohel. On February 27, 2022, he was inducted with the inaugural class of the Jewish Music Hall of Fame.

Werdyger began his musical career in the early 1970s, a time when Hazzanut was the main source of recorded music in Jewish Orthodox circles, with very few solo singer performers. Werdyger was inspired by Bentzion Shenker and Shlomo Carlebach, who had started a genre rooted in Hasidic and American folk song in the early 1960s.
Werdyger followed after his father David, and chose the name Mordechai Ben David (Mordechai Son of David) as his stage name to honor him. In contrast to his father, who recorded classic Hasidic niggunim (melodies) with cantorial vocals and classical instruments, Mordechai blended traditional Hasidic singing with modern and popular music techniques. He was encouraged in this by Rabbi Chaim Zanvl Abramowitz, the Ribnitzer rebbe.
Many of Werydger’s lyrics are based on Hebrew prayer, biblical passages, and Jewish religious poetry, known as Zemiros.
