Jon Stevens is a New Zealand-born Australian singer-songwriter whose powerful voice has fronted several major rock acts. He first found success in the late 1970s with solo hits like “Jezebel” and “Montego Bay”, which topped the New Zealand charts. After moving to Australia, he formed Noiseworks in 1986, a band that became a staple of Aussie pub rock with hits like “Take Me Back” and “Hot Chilli Woman”.
In the early 2000s, Stevens briefly fronted INXS following the death of Michael Hutchence, touring internationally and recording the single “I Get Up”. He later co-founded The Dead Daisies, collaborating with Slash and other rock heavyweights. His solo albums, including Starlight (produced by Dave Stewart), showcase his versatility across rock, soul, and R&B. Stevens continues to tour and record, and his enduring presence in Australian music is marked by both commercial success and critical respect.
