About iyah may
Iyah May is an Australian alt-pop artist, medical doctor, and rising global voice known for capturing the spirit of the times with rich melodies and razor-sharp lyrics.
She first gained viral attention with "Karmageddon": a poetic takedown of media manipulation, celebrity idolatry, and political division. After refusing to alter her lyrics, Iyah's management contract was withdrawn. She chose independence and self-funded her music, a bold move that only amplified her reach.
"Karmageddon" hit #1 on iTunes Australia, broke into the Top 20 globally, and charted on Spotify's Viral 50 across several countries. Shot on a $5 thrift-store camera, the video amassed over 3 million views in a month, entered YouTube's Top 100 Music Videos, and inspired fan covers celebrating her lyrical courage.
Refusing to conform made waves far beyond Australia, catching the attention of public icons such as Joe Rogan, Jewel, Kelly Slater, Tina Arena, Paloma Faith, and Ian Carroll, alongside wide-ranging media coverage from Fox & Friends and Daily Mail to Jimmy Dore and InfoWars.
"The story behind it is made for a movie. Iyah is taking the world by storm." Fox & Friends
For Iyah, the mission is simple: to bring healing through art. Her upcoming album continues that vision, a deeply personal reflection wrapped in infectious hooks and lyrical irony.
