Jon Stevens

Jon Stevens achieved consecutive number one singles in New Zealand with ‘Jezebel’ (December 1979) and ‘Montego Bay’ (January 1980), following the release of his debut album ‘Jezebel’ which reached number 7 on the charts in 1980. His early solo success was further recognized with multiple New Zealand Music Awards in both 1979 and 1980, including Most Promising Male, Single of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year. Stevens relocated to Australia in 1981, leading to the formation of the Sydney-based band Noiseworks in 1986. As lead singer, he spearheaded three platinum studio albums between 1987 and 1991, which produced top ten singles such as ‘Take Me Back,’ ‘Touch,’ and ‘Hot Chilli Woman.’ In 1992, Stevens captivated audiences in the role of Judas for an Australian production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar.’ The accompanying cast recording album not only topped the charts but also became the highest-selling album in Australia that year.

His work has also been recognized with Vocal Collaboration of the Year and Video clip of the Year awards at the Country Music Awards in 2016 for ‘Spirit of the Anzacs.’ Most recently, Stevens released his new album ‘Shimmer’ in 2025 and announced the highly anticipated ‘Summer of Love Rockfest’ tour to support its release.
