Josh Fawaz is an Australian music producer and disc jockey.
In 2026, his version of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" charted in Australia and the United Kingdom, receiving commercial radio support in Australia. Following its commercial success, the release attracted media commentary and online industry discussions regarding whether the music and artist excessively utilised generative artificial intelligence tools, with Brennen Kelly of Whiskey Riff calling Fawaz "completely AI".
Career Fawaz's debut release "Bubble Goose" was released in 2015.
Fawaz began releasing music in the 2010s. His early releases included original dance and electronic productions before he gained broader attention for club-focused versions of well-known songs.
In 2026, Fawaz released "Like a Prayer". On 22 May 2026, Fawaz released the six-track EP Dance Like Nobody's Watching under the Hallwood label. Industry publications and music commentators have highlighted Fawaz's output as part of a growing wave of artificial intelligence-generated music on streaming platforms, with critics noting the entirely synthetic nature of the project's production and vocal arrangements. On 26 June 2026, the EP was extended to 14 tracks and released as an album titled Dance Like Everyone's Watching.
In August 2026, Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) announced that songs that are largely or wholly created by AI would be banned from Australia's music charts.
