Jon Stevens was born on October 8, 1961, in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. Of Scottish and Māori descent, he formed his first band while attending Heretaunga College. His early career saw him achieve significant success as a solo artist in New Zealand, with his debut album “Jezebel” reaching number 7 on the charts in 1980, and consecutive number one singles “Jezebel” (December 1979) and “Montego Bay” (January 1980). Seeking broader horizons, Stevens relocated to Australia in 1981, eventually becoming an Australian citizen. This move marked a turning point, leading to the formation of Noiseworks.
In 1986, Stevens became the lead singer of the Sydney-based band Noiseworks. The band released three platinum studio albums between 1987 and 1991, producing top ten singles such as “Take Me Back,” “Touch,” and “Hot Chilli Woman.” In 1992, he took on the role of Judas in an Australian production of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” which led to a cast recording album that topped the charts and became the highest-selling album in Australia that year. Following Noiseworks, Stevens continued his solo work, releasing albums such as “Are U Satisfied” (1993), which peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Charts, and “Circle” (1996). He co-wrote “Carry the Flame,” the official song for the Sydney 2000 Olympics torch relay.
From 2000 to 2003, Jon Stevens fronted the Australian rock band INXS after the passing of Michael Hutchence. Although initially a temporary role, he officially became their lead singer in 2002 and toured extensively, including a 40-city US tour. He recorded the song “I Get Up” with INXS in 2003 before his departure. Stevens later co-founded The Dead Daisies in 2012, releasing a debut album in 2013 and featuring collaborations with notable musicians like Slash. His solo career continued to thrive with albums such as “Woman” (2015) and “Starlight” (2017), the latter becoming his highest-charting album at number 16 on the ARIA Charts. In 2025, he released the new album “Shimmer” and announced the “Summer of Love Rockfest” tour. His contributions to music have been recognized with awards including Vocal Collaboration of the Year and Video clip of the Year at the Country Music Awards in 2016, and multiple New Zealand Music Awards in 1979 and 1980.
