CRAIG DAVID BIOGRAPHY
Craig Ashley David (born 5 May 1981) is an England Contemporary R&B singer-songwriter and actor. He has released four studio albums: Born To Do It, Slicker Than Your Average, The Story Goes., Trust Me (album), a Greatest Hits (Craig David album) album and the fifth studio offering Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album) is due in March 2010. David has sold over 13 million albums worldwide.
EARLY LIFE
Craig David was born in Southampton, the son of a half-Jewish white mother and a Grenada father. His father George was a carpenter and also played bass in a reggae band called Ebony Rockers. As a teen, David began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone
CAREER
David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a b-side to British group Damage's cover of "Wonderful Tonight". He then started doing vocals for a few tracks with UK garage act The Artful Dodger (UK band). The song "Re-Rewind", from the Artful Dodger album It's All About the Stragglers, hit Number 2 on the UK charts in 1999; thus, paving the way for a solo career. David's first single, "Fill Me In", released on Colin Lester's and Ian McAndrew's Wildstar Records made him the youngest solo male artist ever to reach Number 1 in the UK (he was 19 years old at the time). This was the first of a string of four Top 10 singles from his debut album Born To Do It, which eventually sold more than seven million units worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries. The song "Key To My Heart", taken from the US version of the album, was also featured on the award-winning Warner Brothers animated film Osmosis Jones.
2000-2001 BORN TO DO IT
The success of David's debut, which was written almost entirely by David and Mark Hill of Artful Dodger (UK band), led to the United States release of "Fill Me In" in May 2001. It reached Number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Born to Do It was released in the United States on 17 July 2001, peaking at Number 11 on the Billboard 200 and sold over one million copies. The single "7 Days" hit the Top 10 in the U.S.; although "Walking Away", which had reached Number 3 in the UK and Number 5 in Australia, missed the Top 40 in the U.S. and was the last of his singles to chart there.
In April 2009, MTV viewers voted Born To Do It as Number 2 on their "Greatest Album of All-Time" poll.
