Craig David (Craig Ashley David) was born on 5 May 1981, better known as an English R&B singer and songwriter who has sold about thirteen million albums worldwide as of 2007.

Craig David was born in Holyrood, Southampton, Hampshire to a Grenadian father and a Jewish-English mother and attended Bellemoor School.

His earliest exposure to recording came when he worked on a B-side to British R&B group Damage's cover of the Eric Clapton song Wonderful Tonight.

The success of his debut, which was written almost entirely by Craig David and Mark Hill of The Artful Dodger, led to the US release of "Fill Me In" in May 2001, where it reached # 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Born To Do It was released in the US on July 17, 2001, peaking at #11 on the Billboard 200 and reaching platinum status, selling 1 million copies.

David's career took a blow when his record label, Telstar Records, went bankrupt. He later signed on with Warner Music and put together his third album, The Story Goes..., which was released in the UK, Australia, Asia and other territories in August 2005, but not in the USA.

The first single, "All The Way", returned him to the top three, and the second single, "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)", tied with "7 Days" as his longest running single in the charts since "Rewind", spending 15 weeks inside the UK top 75.

David appeared on Live From Abbey Road on Channel 4 in the UK and the Sundance Channel in the USA. His performance at the studios took place on August 1st 2006.

He has recently collaborated with UK Rapper Kano on his upcoming album London Town for the single This Is The Girl.
