Mike Stock became a household name in the 1980s as one third of Stock Aitken Waterman, the most successful songwriting and production partnership in UK chart history.
Among Mike Stock’s nine Ivor Novello Awards are three Songwriter of the Year honours, awarded in successive years — a unique achievement that underlines his exceptional impact on British popular music. He wrote his first song at the age of seven, a creative path that would later see him become the Stock in Stock Aitken Waterman, helping to define the sound of a generation.
During the 1980s and 90s, Mike Stock was responsible for over 100 UK hit singles and countless Top 40 records. His songwriting and production work has achieved global success with artists including Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Cliff Richard, Bananarama, Robson and Jerome, and The Fast Food Rockers.
Today, Mike Stock continues to write, produce, and collaborate across new projects, combining an era-defining catalog with an active, contemporary creative output.
