JC Stewart announces his BIGGEST headline gig here in Belfast
He's got celebrity fans across the globe 🎉
Last updated 19th May 2021
Local singer-songwriter John Callum Stewart, also known as JC Stewart, has been releasing music since 2014.
And today he’s just announced his biggest Belfast headline show to date, at the Ulster Hall on Thursday 2nd September 2021.
Not only has he written beautiful songs for himself, but he’s also co-written hits with some of his closest friends in the industry, like ‘Hollywood’ on Lewis Capaldi’s debut album.
It’s clear that JC was born to do this and knows exactly how to play to his strengths. “The whole point is to make it quite big and epic,” he shares, “but at the same time, I’m from a farm in Northern Ireland, so I want to keep hold of that too. I’m writing songs, and I’m doing my own thing.”
Something you notice immediately about JC’s song writing is his ability to express deep emotion and universal truths in language that is consciously direct and uncluttered. His local charm and quick wit are also apparent, resulting in him going viral on a global scale.
Bored during lockdown, JC filmed his quarantine-themed take on the Friends theme song I’ll Be There For You, singing, “It looks like we'll be inside for a year/ Or it might only be a day, a week or months it's really not clear.”
It exploded after Jennifer Aniston shared it on Instagram. Suddenly it was featured on Good Morning America, and Nina Dobrev also shared it with her 20 million followers as it raced to five million views.
JC kept his profile riding high throughout the remainder of 2020, collaborating with 220 Kid for Too Many Nights, before he released his long-awaited debut EP ‘When The Lights Hit The Room’.
He wrote the EP with the BRIT and Ivor Novello Award winner Tom Odell, and together they crafted four emotive stories of the growing pains of young adulthood. He now looks set to become one of 2021’s biggest breakthrough artists, starting in January with boldest pop moment to date in the shape of the new single Break My Heart.
