Awkward: Viral song that left Monica out of sync with friend Rachel
Singer-songwriter JC Stewart has revealed how an online interaction with one Friends star led to an 'awkward' real-world encounter with another leading cast member of the iconic show. The Northern Irish artist, whose songs have clocked up 350 million streams on Spotify before he even releases his first album later this month, went viral during the pandemic thanks to Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel in the show. The actress reposted Stewart's lockdown-themed parody of the Friends theme song, I'll Be There for You – made, he said, while 'being an idiot' at home and posted on the emerging TikTok. Stewart told 'I went to bed and woke up the next day, and I've never had anything like it on my phone. I had calls from Good Morning America, The Today Show and I ended up chatting to all these people.' @iamjcstewart Just leaving these here…#fyp #friends #cover #jcstewart #isolationgames #onmyown #comedy #parody ♬ original sound – JC Stewart The acknowledgment from Aniston never went further, but the singer later ended up in the company of her Friends co-star, Courteney Cox. Ms Cox is in a relationship with Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, the Northern Irish band who were early patrons of Stewart's career and whom he still calls friends. But he admits Ms Cox had 'no idea what I was talking about' when he brought up Ms Aniston's enjoyment of his viral video. The acknowledgment from Aniston never went further, but the singer later ended up in the company of her Friends co-star, Courteney Cox. Pic: Shutterstocl 'It was awkward,' he laughed. Stewart, from Magherafelt, Co. Derry, said it was 'interesting seeing what that massive viral moment could look like' after Ms Aniston shared the clip, but added that it 'probably didn't change my life, long term'. He said: 'I'm like, 'You guys know I write real music, right?' I think we gained like 50,000 followers instantly, and I think we lost 45,000 of them when they all realised I wasn't a Friends account.' Yet the 28-year-old former MTV Push Artist of the Month has a hugely impressive online following, despite a relatively low profile here. A good portion of his audience is in Europe, where he plays some of his biggest gigs, including a recent thousand-seater in Amsterdam. His track I Need You To Hate Me (72.5 million Spotify plays) took off on the continent and topped the charts in Czechia – again during the pandemic. 'I remember doing all these interviews and people were like, 'You're number one in the Czech Republic this week',' he recalled. 'I was like, 'Oh sick, but I'm in Magherafelt. My Dad said I have to mow the lawn.' 'I think with the timing of it, it was hard to feel it. But I'm unbelievably grateful for it. It's pretty crazy,' he said. The piano and guitar player admits he doesn't really know why his music seems to 'resonate a lot better in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Finland', but said it is 'just a lot easier for me to go play there'. 'They just seem to get what I'm doing a bit more,' he said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JC STEWART (@jcstewart) He describes his anthemic style as 'that singer-songwriter, storytelling, doleful kind of thing that leans into pop music', with Foy Vance and Tom Odell named as influences (and also people he has gone on to work with). 'I just try and feel that punchin-the-chest moment. That's my favourite thing about music. If I can get that into a song and I can feel it, then I'm happy with it usually,' he said. He has also co-written with 'great guy' Niall Horan – albeit over a 'very patchy' Zoom call – and with Lewis Capaldi on the track Hollywood. 'I wrote that song at midnight in Ealing in West London one time with Lewis and these guys [Philip] Plested and Kane [Parfitt],' he remembered. 'It was just a bit of fun, but it turned into something bigger.' Stewart can expect to win a few more Irish devotees this month with the release of his first album, Space Hurts, followed by huge concerts in Dublin and Cork, where he will support Duran Duran and Chic. He called the line-up – playing at Malahide Castle in Dublin and Virgin Media Park in Cork – 'random enough', but said he is 'obsessed with both' acts. And it won't be his first encounter with either. He first met Nile Rodgers of Chic while doing work experience at a London recording studio aged 17. 'I've kept loosely in contact with them,' he said. 'I haven't seen them in a few years, so it'll be nice to now go and play a show with him 11 years later.' He initially claimed he is 'absolutely not' planning to join the legendary disco/funk outfit onstage but later said: 'We'll see.' 'I think that would be an embarrassment to me and everybody who knows me. I'd probably start dancing or something,' he joked. Stewart has already supported Duran Duran in Greece. 'Somebody dropped out of a show. I was on holiday in Crete and got a call like, 'Could you be in Athens in two days?' 'And I just had to scramble the band, fly them over from Belfast, and I think we played to, like, 15,000 people in Athens. It was about 40 degrees, and I honestly nearly died, but it was good fun.'
