[9] The album was a success, but Piamenta disapproved of the entertainment industry lifestyle and turned to religion, joining the Orthodox Jewish community.

[7] Piamenta lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn, for over 20 years before moving back to Israel to reside near his father.

[12] On 14 April 2015, Piamenta's Facebook page disclosed that "Yosi is not doing well" and asked fans to "Please pray your hearts out".

[16] Piamenta was 26 years old when he arrived in New York and embarked on a tour with Getz throughout the United States.

[16] After recording an album with Getz, Piamenta became a baal teshuva (observant Orthodox Jew).

Piamenta also attracted a fan base that particularly enjoyed his interpretations of rock and blues, and his lengthy guitar solos that he usually played only at smaller concerts held in bars and clubs.

[16] In addition to his live performances, Piamenta released a series of studio albums that can be found in Jewish homes in the US and Israel.
