The pair also talk about Go-Jo’s fashion style and using it as a power to overcome his fears. He also gives his plea to keep Australia within the Contest!
Who is Go-Jo?
Go-Jo is the stage name of Marty Zambotto, a 29-year-old singer from Manjimup in Western Australia. Growing up on a remote farm, Marty’s initial focus was on Australian football, becoming a semi-professional player for the East Perth Royals. However, the pull to music proved too strong, and he eventually decided to pursue music full time. Since then, the star has released his own original music, with his track “Mrs. Hollywood” being viewed over 1 billion times across various video platforms.
The track Go-Jo has for Eurovision – “Milkshake Man” – was written by Marty himself, Jason Bovino and Amy and George Sheppard, who themselves participated in Australia Decides in 2019.
Australia’s Eurovision journey
The most recent country to debut into the Eurovision Song Contest, Australia debuted in 2015. Guy Sebastian represented the land down under with his entry “Tonight Again” in Vienna, where they placed 5th. Since their debut, they have participated every single year of the competition.
Australia internally selected Electric Fields to represent them in 2024 with the song “One Milkali (One Blood)”. The band ultimately failed to reach the Grand Final, placing eleventh in the first semifinal with 41 televote points.
