Rewind-The decade of Craig David
From a UK Garage pioneer to a mainstream multi-million seller, Craig David is so much more than your average artist. Still only 28 years old, it's incredible to consider what he's achieved during his 10 year career. From Ivor Novello awards to sales of over 13 million, 2 No.1's, 13 Top 10 hits, huge success in America and sold out shows across the world, Craig is one of the UK music scene's most successful male solo exports.
Q. When you got your first number one, who was the first person you called and why?
A. The first person I called was my Mum, I was in the office with Colin, my manager, who told me the news that I was about to have a number one with Fill Me In. We had received the midweek's and it revealed I was 20,000 copies ahead of the next closest entry which was Destiny's Child with 'Say My Name' and at that point I was quite excited. I told my Mum and she started to cry on the phone, she couldn't believe that I was number one. She was saying,'Oh but are we going to have to hold on telling people?' and I said,'Unless something dramatic happens the lead is clear that I think we are going to be good with this one.

Q. Over those 10 years what would you say were your biggest achivements?
A. Performing at Wembley arena, having number ones, going to the states and having recognition from my peers and people whose music I have been a fan of. Picking up an Ivor Novello award with Mark Hill was the most memorable because it was all about the songs, it went back to the lyrics, the melody, how these songs were structured and the impact that they had on people. I've never been a big believer that it's all about an award or that you should base your whole career on a bit of silverware but to win "Song Of The Year" was one of the most important confirmations for me as a song writer.

Q. Over the past 10 years what has been your favourite look?
A. My favourite look, apart from the loud Moschino look that I had when I was performing at Camden Palais with my Reebok classics (I thought I was the cool man back then!), would have wo be right now. Rockin' the high tops, rockin' the more straight jeans, funky T-shirts, less is more when it comes to the grooming, that's my thing now.

Q. What's a typical day like in the life of Craig David?
A. Wake up in the morning, straight onto the treadmill, go for a run, it gets your energy going for the day. Have a nice cooked breakfast like a little omelette, some mushrooms, have a bit of toast to set it off, a nice fresh orange juice and head wo the studio. Or if I have promotion, get myself ready to do some interviews, go and do some performances and then by the end of the day get back home to chill. I think the most important thing is wo chillout with a film and have a little me time.

Q. What would you say is your hangover cure?
A. Don't drink the night before.
Q. What was your favourite cartoon growing up?
A. Oh it has to be The Jetsons.
Q. What are the five things in your day-to-day life that you can't live without?
A. I can't live without my Blackberry, my Blackberry charger, my i-Pod, my wallet with money and credit cards, and my Dolce & Gabbana spray. I love it.
