Summary

Katie sits down with singer, songwriter, DJ and all-round national treasure, Craig David MBE. Craig has had an incredible career. Soon after getting noticed by teaming up with Garage duo Artful Dodger, Craig became a huge hit in his own right. His debut single and album both went to number one when he was still just 19 years old, and the hit albums kept coming. After taking a break in the mid-noughties for a change of scenery, and a life of partying in Miami, Craig made his musical comeback in 2016, which took him straight back to number one, and he hasn’t stopped making tunes since. Fresh from being named on the New Year Honours 2021, Craig shares the highs and lows of his time in the music industry, as well as his journey with body confidence, and explains how he stays positive and motivated in difficult times.
