Shannon Noll (born 16 September 1975) is an Australian singer-songwriter. Noll first came to prominence as runner-up of the first series of Australian Idol (2003) which led to him being signed to Sony BMG, since Idol he has had more success than any other Idol contestant to date. He has gone on to release two number one, multi-platinum albums, That’s What I’m Talking About and Lift and numerous top five singles. Including 3 number 1 debuts and an additional 7 single releases reaching the top 10. Noll’s style of music is melodic pop-rock, heavily influenced by the likes of Bryan Adams.

Early life and pre-Idol

Noll was born in the Australian town of Orange, New South Wales and grew up in the small town of Condobolin in central western New South Wales. He is the third and youngest of three children to parents Sharon and Neil Noll and along with brothers Damian and Adam, spent the entire of their childhood and teenage years living on the family farm which ran sheep and cattle and grew cereal crops. During his school years, Noll enjoyed drama classes and performed in a number of school productions. Noll has since expressed a desire to continue his acting work.

During his adult years, Noll began working on other farms and properties shearing sheep amongst other tasks. It was during this time Noll and his brothers formed the band called “Cypress” (named for the fact that they rehearsed in a timber mill), of which Shannon provided vocals and played guitar.

The first time I heard Shannon Noll I was like wow.. fantastic voice... I didn't even know he had won Australian Idol... They only show American Idol and X-Factor in the UK... That being said... He's brilliant. :D

It amazes me how people trawl through artists pages they don't like and leave comments that make no sense. I haven't seen Shannon on any reality show and not likely to either BUT I have seen him singing at the Viper Room in L.A. though to a packed house, to me and many others THAT is being taken VERY seriously :) Have a nice day :)

Not to mention not being taken seriously by anyone, the high chance of ending up on some reality show or neighbours etc...

Quote from below: australian idol isn't a bad show, the problem is what happens after it Answer: 10 consecutive top 10 hits (never done by any other Aussie artist EVER), 3 #1 singles, 2 multi platinmum and a platinum selling albums, 3 MTV Best Male awards and the chance to work with THE most reknowned artists in the world ie Richie Sambora, Richard Marx, Bryan Adams and the list goes on. No
