About Shannon Noll
Shannon Noll is the runner-up of the first series of Australian Idol. He is from the small town of Condobolin in outback western New South Wales and was working in farms shearing sheep amongst other things. He had singing experience playing in a band called Cypress with his two brothers which toured around the Australian outback. Shannon’s style of music is melodic pop-rock heavily influenced by the likes of Bryan Adams.
His debut single "What About Me" (a cover of the song by Moving Pictures) was released on 5 January 2004. His debut album “That's What I'm Talking About” was released in February 2004 and was certified multi-platinum by July 2004.
Shannon’s increasing popularity saw him star in his own high rating one hour television special on the Ten Network, Up Close with Shannon Noll, hosted by Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson. In October 2004, he became the first Australian Idol contestant to achieve success outside of Australia when his single "What About Me" reached number two in Ireland.
Shannon was also approached by the Nine Network to re-record the World Series Cricket song "C'mon Aussie, C'mon" with updated lyrics.
Recently Shannon starred in the stage musical production of Grease and his single "Shine" reached number one on the ARIA charts and was one of the most-played songs on Australian radio. Shannon is now considered the most successful singer from the Australian Idol series, surpassing Guy Sebastian and Anthony Callea.
