An Australian medical doctor who worked on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemeic, who later turned to become a rising musician, Iyah May, recently released the 2024 political version of Billy Joel’s 1989, “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” entitled Karmaggedon. She was fired by her manager and record label for not changing the lyrics of her controversial song which accurately and truthfully depict today’s state of society.
Per the Iyah May’s website, “The song doesn’t shy away from addressing the pandemic narrative, corruption within political, pharmaceutical, and health institutions, the Israel-Palestine conflict, violence against women and the social chaos that has swept through the world in the past few years.”
“Fuelled by my own despair over a divided world and deceitful corporations, I channelled my frustration into Karmageddon. My career as a doctor has been greatly impacted, and I was affected on a deep and personal level,” states Iyah May.
