Jermaine sits down with NZ-born, Australia-based dance artist Jolyon Petch for a deep dive into the craft behind his chart-topping reimaginations. They unpack Jolyon’s musical upbringing with a mum in the industry, the move to Australia, and the band-to-producer shift that shaped his sound. Jolyon explains why he rebuilds classics from the vocal up, the story behind his multi-platinum take on “Dreams,” and the journey to securing official clearance for his “Thriller” project.

They also get into his new single, a fresh reimagination of Vanessa Amorosi’s “Absolutely Everybody” featuring Bianca, why Aussies still connect to it, and how he tests records to make sure they hit in clubs. Plus: hybrid live ambitions, his Back to the 90s event brand, and how he uses AI as an embellishment tool to spark ideas without losing the human touch.
