Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, it is episode 4 of George Ezra and Friends, the podcast.

My name is George Ezra, I'm a musician, I'm a singer, I'm a songwriter, I'm a mover and a shaker.

I first released music about four years ago or so and I've been very busy ever since and

yeah, keeping out of trouble.

My guest this week is the lovely, the legendary Craig David.

I have never met such a positive man.

We met up at Sony Music HQ here in London, Craig and I sat down for about an hour and

we just spoke about Craig's experiences and everything he's learned along the way.

It was an amazing insight into such an amazing career, real pleasure.

So thank you Craig, as always I would just say there might be one or two swear words in this,

I don't know a bit of rude language, if you have kids in the car or around the house I just wanted to give you a heads up.

I don't think there's much though, I don't know, I'm going to stop talking.

Ladies and gentlemen, sit back, enjoy Craig David.

There's a load of stuff I want to talk about if we can get on to, like something that it's popped up a lot

with you talking about new music and everything.

There's a lot of people want to talk to you about your time in Miami, which will be great to talk about,

because it's something before that.

I'd love to know about your time growing up in Southampton and what that was like and you know,

they happy times you look back on and was it a childhood that kind of lent itself to being one of the biggest names in pop music?

Or was it a massive difference? What was it like?

It was really fun memories of growing up in Southampton, it was like I was living in Queens house in the Holy Roode,

there was a block of flats and I knew that flat that I was in with my mum for 16 years of my life here.
