早年经历

克雷格•大卫1981年5月5日出生于英国南安普顿的汉普郡，母亲是有着一半犹太血统的白人，同时也是Accurist钟表公司的联合创始人，父亲来自格林纳达。他的父亲乔治•大卫是一名木匠，同时兼任一个名叫Ebony Rockers的雷鬼乐队的贝司手。少年时的大卫陪着他父亲进入各种当地酒吧，接受贝司手父亲的音乐熏陶，很早就在俱乐部担任说唱歌手和DJ。8岁时他的父母离婚，之后他由母亲抚养长大，并毕业于南安普顿城市学院。

十五岁时，年纪轻轻的克雷格•大卫受到母亲的鼓励下，参加了作曲比赛。他只用了两天时间来完成的参赛歌曲《I'm Ready》，更令他在比赛中脱颖而出。胜出比赛除了令他的作品被流行乐队Damage采用外，更为克雷格•大卫打开其歌唱事业。

大卫走入公众视野是在英国团体的一首非专辑发行曲目《Wonderful Tonight》中。之后他作为主唱和车库歌手Artful Dodger合作了一些曲目。歌曲Re-Rewind在Artful Dodger的专辑中得以发行。这是一首关于游荡者的歌曲，在1999年的英国排行榜中位列第二。这个作品为他之后的独唱生涯铺垫了道路。

克雷格•大卫，一出道便被誉为“英国R&B新星”，不但囊括了英国乐坛六项大奖，首张大碟《Born To Do It》亦获得白金销量，四张Singles（包括《Seven Days》及《Fill Me In》）高据其它欧美国家流行榜，克雷格•大卫更成为首位夺得英国细碟及大碟榜冠军的最年轻歌手。

演艺经历

大卫的首个单曲《Fill Me In》使他成为了有史以来获得英国排行榜冠军的最年轻的男歌手（当时他只有19岁）。这还只是他处子专辑《Born To Do It》获得的4个前十单曲的第一个，而这张专辑在超过20个国家中赢得白金销量，在全世界共卖出了700万张。来自于美版专辑的歌曲《Key To My Heart》，还作为了法雷利兄弟的获奖电影终极细胞战的插曲。

克雷格•大卫顶着2000年横扫欧陆年度销售新人、单曲专辑三冠王超人气，开创“两步/Garage”曲风，让乐评一面倒为其开拓音乐新格局喝彩，2001年2月又创下全英音乐奖六项提名历史纪录，却在颁奖典礼成为空手而返的失意小帅哥，眼睁睁看着奖项落入罗比威廉斯手中，两人互有心结甚嚣尘上，但克雷格•大卫并未因此意志消沉，除了得到许多大小音乐奖肯定，马上前往美国进行宣传，最后天从人愿，克雷格•大卫的单曲《Fill Me In》夺得销售榜第三名，首张专辑《Born To Do It（天生好手）》七月进入全美排行11名。

事实上，克雷格•大卫、Robbie Williams、Ronan Keating三人在英国歌坛似乎有彼此较劲抢占头号男歌手的目的，但Craig不仅没成为Robbie和Ronan的眼中钉，俩人更不止一次表示欣赏大卫，希望彼此有合作机会，Ronan甚至呼吁三人公开合作为公益抛砖引玉，传为歌坛佳话。而自从“英国小天王”窜红来，歌坛也掀起一阵“克雷格•大卫旋风”，从艾尔顿强、U2、Jamiroquai、Sisqo、Usher等都对他的音乐深深着迷，不停在访问中提及对大卫的喜爱，就连“全球性感女神”珍妮佛洛佩兹也情不自禁点名要和他飙歌，更巧的是珍妮佛前男友吹牛老爹还曾力邀大卫加入自己的唱片公司。

Life and Career

David's debut album, Born to Do It, was released in 2000, after which he has released a further five studio albums and worked with a variety of artists such as Tinchy Stryder, Kano, Jay Sean, Rita Ora and Sting. David has 14 UK Top 10 singles, and six UK Top 20 albums, selling over 13 million records worldwide as a solo artist.

David has been nominated for twelve Brit Awards: three times for Best British Male, and twice received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

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 garage act Artful Dodger.

Wildstar Records first became aware of David when the artist's then manager Paul Widger met the label's co-owner Colin Lester and played some of his music.

The song "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)", from the Artful Dodger album It's All About the Stragglers, hit number two 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, topped the UK chart and was the first of a string of four Top 10 singles from his debut album Born to Do It, which eventually sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries.
