When a mix of ideas and influences with no common theme or spirit, apart from one of desperation, becomes one of the most well-known bands of the 90s … Mike Edwards is the singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter for the British alternative-rock band, Jesus Jones. Among having multiple chart-topping hits, releasing several albums throughout the last 3 decades, and being awarded Best New Band at the MTV Music Awards in 1991, Jesus Jones are widely known for their #1 international hit, "Right Here, Right Now." Jesus Jones continues to tour and record, now with a renewed vigor after being able to control their own destiny, freed from the grips of major labels. Mike’s debut novel, Death Threats from an Eight-Year-Old, chronicles how fast a band that is number one everywhere in the world can plummet from the good graces of the press, labels, radio, MTV, and even so-called diehard fans. A true introspective about the cutthroat music business told through the eyes and words of a man who experienced fronting one of the most well-known bands of their time, to finding his band label-less and shunned in a blink of an eye.

Mike Edwards

Mike Edwards' career in boxing began as a novice amateur in the 1960s, training under the tutelage of George Cammick at his gym in Otahuhu. Later, Mike would become a successful trainer, working with Anthony Bigeni, the only New Zealand boxer to challenge twice for a world title, and the Australian former pro boxer Paul Murdoch.

Following in his father's footsteps, Mike became a boxing promoter in the 1980s, with his inaugural match, Lance Revill against Monty Betham Snr. Mike's associations include some of the biggest names in trans-Tasman boxing, including Betham, Bigeni, Kipa, Masoe, Murdoch, Malcolm, Tetoros, Pakau, Zohs, Tafua, Revill, Barry and Parker.

Even at 77, Mike still trains most days on the boxing bag and in the ring, either in his garage or at his son David's gym in Pakuranga, East Auckland.
