Craig David is a soulful vocalist born on May 5, 1981, in Southampton, Hampshire, England. He emerged as a defining figure in the UK garage sound with his early releases and has since transitioned towards a more standard R&B style. Raised by his mother, Tina, after his parents separated when he was eight, David attended Bellemoor School. His father, George David, a Grenadian carpenter, played bass in a reggae band called Ebony Rockers, which influenced Craig's early musical exposure. As a teenager, he accompanied his father to local dance clubs, where he began taking the microphone. David's music career took off when he worked on a b-side for British group Damage's cover of "Wonderful Tonight" and later provided vocals for tracks with the garage act Artful Dodger. The hit song "Re-Rewind" from the Artful Dodger album "It's All About the Stragglers" reached Number 2 on the UK charts in 1999, paving the way for his solo career. His debut single, "Fill Me In," released on Wildstar Records, made him the youngest solo male artist to reach Number 1 in the UK at just 18 years old. This was the first of four Top 10 singles from his debut album, "Born To Do It," which sold over seven million units worldwide and achieved multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries. Notably, the song "Key To My Heart," from the US
