This month sees JC Stewart hit Southampton’s Heartbreakers on May 14.
John Callum, aka ‘JC’ Stewart, has packed a lot into his 27 years. A self-released single when he was 18. A record deal with Warner Music, signed after an old-fashioned bidding war, when he was 21. A Number One single in the Czech Republic in the teeth of lockdown, underpinned by gold-selling success in Eastern and Northern Europe. A touring and writing partnership with good friend Lewis Capaldi – the Irishman co-wrote ‘Hollywood’ (current Spotify streams: 84 million, give or take) from the Scotsman’s blockbuster debut album, “Divinely Inspired to a Hellish Extent.” A co-write with Niall Horan on his own 2021 song “Break My Heart.” An EP with Tom Odell, one of JC’s North Stars and true heroes. A proper viral moment with his parodic cover of the “Friends” theme song, which went from TikTok to ABC News to an American media storm after Jennifer Aniston reposted it. A deep-seated creative bond with Foy Vance, aka the patron saint of modern Irish songwriters.
Now, JC Stewart returns – rebooted, refreshed, realigned and stronger than ever – with his new record label Stanley Park, to continue his musical journey. Over the past year, JC has released multiple singles to critical acclaim (including a 2024 Single of the Year win at the Northern Ireland Music Prize), sold out a headlining tour across the UK and Europe, and released his second-ever EP with “Tomorrow.” With a packed 2025 in the works, JC is here to stay.
