Who Is Josh Fawaz? The Deep-House Producer Behind a Viral “Like a Prayer”
Josh Fawaz is an Australian deep-house and electronic producer who broke through in 2026 with club covers of Madonna's “Like a Prayer” and TLC's “No Scrubs.” “Like a Prayer” topped the iTunes Electronic chart worldwide, drawing both viral attention and a still-unresolved debate over whether the project is AI-generated (which we find to be nonsense). He has no confirmed live dates anywhere. Mood lists his releases and will surface any future show on his artist page, and tracks the deep-house scene his sound draws on across Europe.
