“I want it to represent my anger, where my boundaries now lie and display my fight and resilience.” – Jaguar Jonze
Taiwanese-Australian artist, musician and singer JAGUAR JONZE has dropped the video for new single ‘WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING?’, out today via Nettwerk Records. The first piece of music since her acclaimed ANTIHERO EP (2021), ‘WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING?’ speaks directly and in response to Jaguar Jonze’s ongoing #MeToo advocacy that has created lasting change in the music industry.
“Within a year, we have taken down many notable ‘kings’ or heads at the top of the music industry,” says Jaguar Jonze (real name Deena Lynch). “This song is to both celebrate that, as well as act as warning that more downfalls and clean ups are yet to come.”

Having precariously balanced her art, advocacy and a prolonged hospital stay over the past 18 months, the ‘WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING?’ video is the first opportunity in many years that Jaguar Jonze was able to solely focus on her artistic output. “In order to fight for a safer environment within the music industry meant that I had to sacrifice my artistry to advocate. With this single, I wanted to take back my power, take back my voice and take back my artistry.”
The video showcases Jaguar Jonze side-by-side with 12 Asian-Australian women and GNC folk. All dressed in various nude-shades, the vision is representative of each body and form, and how vulnerability and strength can exist concurrently.
“..nothing short of a manifold visionary” (Flaunt), Brisbane-based singer, producer, songwriter, and multimedia artist Jaguar Jonze is proud to release ‘WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING?’ as the first step into a new chapter. Recipient of the 2021 AIR Outstanding Achievement Award in honour of her work raising awareness to ensure that all music industry practitioners operate in a safe and respectful environment, Jaguar Jonze continues her advocacy work as part of the Temporary Working Group. ‘WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING?’ follows earlier releases, the Diamonds & Liquid Gold (2020) and ANTIHERO (2021) EPs.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
