Jipsta is also widely known for his genre-bending cover songs; the most popular of which is his cover version of "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael which reached #4 on the Billboard Dance Chart in 2009. More recently, Jipsta has recorded cover versions of Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body," and Ed Sheeran's "New Man," both of which appear on the "Swaggerific" album. Jipsta's latest single "D.A.N.C.E." is considered his "return to dance music."
