Mark Stevens is an Australian singer, songwriter, actor and worship leader. Stevens began his career after a winning a talent contest in his birth place, Hobart. His win attracted the attention the producer of Network 10's musical variety show Young Talent Time. Stevens was invited to join the cast and his family relocated to Melbourne to facilitate his career. As a member of Young Talent Time, Stevens recorded music for an official album release and took part in the Australian city tour. He decided to leave the series after more than three years. He then successfully auditioned for the role of teenage tearaway Nick Page, in the soap opera Neighbours.

Stevens remained with the show for two years before concentrating solely on his music career. He signed a record deal with major label BMG and teamed up with Nik Kershaw creating new music. During his time with the company he released the singles "Broken English" and "This Is The Way To Heaven". His career became affected by his personal life and a drug addiction and he parted ways with BMG. In 1996, Stevens began to overcome his addiction and became a practising Christian. His affiliation with the Hillsong Church helped him become a worship leader. He began working on new music with Hillsong Worship and later had an eleven year career with the Abundant Life Church. In 2011, Stevens released his debut studio album, "To Be With You", based on his experiences with God.
