Craig Ashley David, singer and songwriter from Southampton, England<\/a>. He has released five studio albums: Born to Do It<\/a>, Slicker Than Your Average<\/a>, The Story Goes...<\/a>, Trust Me<\/a>, Signed Sealed Delivered<\/a> and a Greatest Hits<\/a> album.<\/p>\n

David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a b-side to British group Damage<\/a>'s cover of \"Wonderful Tonight\". He then started doing vocals for a few tracks with garage act Artful Dodger<\/a>. The song \"Re-Rewind\", from the Artful Dodger<\/a> 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 United Kingdom (he was 18 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<\/a> animated film Osmosis Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
