Criag David
At 14, Craig David took his own first musical steps, spinning his favorite R&B and hip hop records from the States on the local pirate radio station, PCRS – People’s Choice Radio Station.

At age 18, the Southampton, England-based David became the youngest British male to score a #1 hit, when his debut solo single, Fill Me In, entered the UK charts in the top spot in March of 2000. His second single, 7 Days, likewise entered the charts at #1, as did BORN TO DO IT upon its summer 2000 issue.

Since then, the gifted singer and songwriter has achieved both global chart-topping success and a bevy of platinum-plus sales awards. To date, BORN TO DO IT has sold a remarkable 4 million copies worldwide, including 1.5 million in the UK alone. In addition to its seven international #1s, the album has earned gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications in 20 countries around the world, including five-times platinum in the UK; six-times platinum in Ireland; double-platinum in Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark; and platinum in Belgium, Germany, Holland, Norway, and Sweden.

David punctuated those achievements last fall by winning three MOBO Awards in London, including Best Newcomer, Best R&B Act, and Best UK Single for Fill Me In. This winter, Craig, complete with live band, headlined his first-ever arena tour with a 32-date sold-out trek across the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium.

BORN TO DO IT Craig’s Wildstar/Atlantic Records debut, and the whole world began to listen. With an easy blend of US R&B, pop, hip hop, and British dancefloor styles, the album soars from the autobiographical love-on-trial themes found within the cool flowing melodies of Fill Me In to the touching balladry of Walking Away and the smooth sex track, Follow Me. Throughout, David’s songs paint compelling portraits of a young person experiencing life’s passions while struggling to come to terms with the doubts, pain, and volatility ushered in by adulthood.
