Australia’s Eurovision 2025 Entry: Go-Jo Brings “Milkshake Man” To Basel
Australia’s Eurovision journey continues in 2025 with a vibrant new artist. SBS, the nation’s official broadcaster for the contest, has announced that singer, songwriter, and producer Go-Jo will take the stage in Basel, Switzerland this May. Known for his unique blend of pop, indie, and folk sounds, Go-Jo was selected internally to represent Australia in one of the world’s most celebrated music competitions.
What is “Milkshake Man” All About?
The song Go-Jo will perform, Milkshake Man, is already making waves. Written by Go-Jo alongside George Sheppard, Amy Sheppard, and Jason Bovino from the Australian pop band Sheppard, the track promises to deliver a bold and unforgettable message.
Go-Jo describes the song as a celebration of individuality and self-expression. He shared his excitement in a statement: “The Milkshake Man’s purpose is to inspire people to embrace the loudest and proudest version of themselves.”
Who is Go-Jo?
Go-Jo, whose real name is Marty Zambotto, is no stranger to the spotlight. He began his musical journey at 13 when he received his first guitar. Starting out as a producer and songwriter for others, he eventually launched his solo career. His music combines catchy songwriting with modern pop production, drawing influence from industry icons like Max Martin and Shellback.
One of his biggest hits, Mrs. Hollywood, went viral with over 15 million streams. He has also opened for major acts, including Tash Sultana, the Jonas Brothers, and Milky Chance. In late 2024, Go-Jo toured Australia with his full band during his Loud And Fun Tour. Now, he’s ready to take his artistry to a global audience at Eurovision.
