About Craig
Craig David is one of the UK music scene’s most successful male solo exports.
During his ten-year career, Craig has sold over 13 million albums, enjoyed 13 Top Ten hits and achieved multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries. A winner of two MTV Europe Awards, three Ivor Novello Awards and four MOBO Awards, he has also been nominated for twelve BRIT Awards and two Grammys. He continues to sell out venues worldwide as well as at home and was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Southampton Solent University for his contribution to the industry.
In March 2010, he became a Goodwill Ambassador against Tuberculosis, working with the Stop TB Partnership, an international network of people, organizations and countries working together to achieve the goal of a world free of tuberculosis - a disease that kills nearly 2 million people every year.
Craig’s debut album, "Born To Do It", came second in a 2009 poll by MTV to find the Greatest Album Ever, beaten only by Michael Jackson’s "Thriller". Craig has also recorded with the likes of Kano, Sting and Tinchy Stryder, and features on Jay Sean’s new album.
Now based between London and the creative melting pot of Miami, Craig is still one of the most talented and enduring R&B acts on the planet with five studio albums to his name.
His brand-new album, ‘Signed Sealed Delivered’, covers a multitude of mostly Motown classics, retaining his innovative approach to music-making while respectfully delving into the past. It’s not quite the straightforward covers album you’d expect, as Craig gives classics from the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops and The Temptations a modern twist. The first single - "One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)" - is the perfect example, with its beautifully raw ’60s soul sample sitting comfortably over a 21st century hard knock drumbeat coupled with some of Craig David’s most versatile vocals to date. The album features classics such as: "For Once In My Life", "Papa Was A Rolling Stone", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and, of course, the title track by Stevie.
