Abbilyse, Rising Star on YouTube, Samsung TV, Netflix, & More Makes Her Music Debut with a Bold Reimagining of Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity.”
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Millions already know her face—even if they don’t know her name.
Abbilyse is taking the new media world by storm with her Southern charm, artistic innovations, and unrelenting passion on and off the screen, and now behind the mic. Appearing in episodes on Dhar Mann and Jordan Matter’s channel, the content she stars in has generated more than 350 million views and counting on YouTube alone. Abbilyse is stepping into the music world with her debut single, a fresh interpretation of Jamiroquai’s groundbreaking hit “Virtual Insanity.”
The release is set for October 9, 2026, during the 30th anniversary year of the song’s original 1996 release—celebrating one of the decade’s most influential recordings while introducing it to a new generation of listeners through Abbilyse’s modern interpretation.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Abbilyse is a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, dancer, and actress whose years of performance training have quietly prepared her for this moment. While millions discovered her through her performances on Dhar Mann, the “Problem Child” series created by Jordan Matter and Dhar Mann, as well as various other new media, television, and film projects, music has always been one of her greatest passions.
“This release is just the beginning,” says Abbilyse. “Acting has helped develop my storytelling; while dancing is what gave me my passion for the arts in the first place, and now through singing I can let that passion break free.”
Produced by veteran music producer Michael Binikos, the project combines seasoned production with emerging talent. Binikos previously helped develop Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson during her debut recording project with Universal Records in the early 2000s.
“I’ve been working with Abbi since she was 10 years old, and I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into an amazing artist,” says Binikos. “We’ve been through a lot together—from the challenges of COVID to personal loss and adversity. Things that might have derailed someone else have only made her stronger, more determined, and more authentic. As a producer who’s worked on major label projects, I can say with complete confidence that she’s an incredible talent, and this is only the beginning.”
Abbilyse’s interpretation of “Virtual Insanity” honors the spirit and musicality of the original while introducing fresh production and a contemporary vocal performance designed to connect with today’s audiences.
Her musical debut marks the start of a new chapter, with additional releases already in development.
