Career

edit

Early career

edit

David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a B-side to British groupDamage's cover of "Wonderful Tonight",on the track" I'm Ready ". He then started doing vocals for theUK garageduoArtful Dodger,on tracks such as "Something" and "What Ya Gonna Do".

Wildstar Recordsfirst became aware of David when the artist's then manager Paul Widger met the label's co-ownerColin Lesterand played some of his music.[16]Lester later toldHitQuartersthat he was particularly impressed by the first song he heard, "Walking Away",saying" That was an absolute stand-out... It struck me that any seventeen-year-old that could write a song like this had huge potential. "[16]The Wildstar boss was further won over when, on later visiting the artist's home in Southampton, he found David's tiny bedroom stacked from floor to ceiling with 12 "vinyl records, commenting:" That convinced me he was the real deal and not just some kid acting out the part. "[16]At that point Lester offered him a development deal with his label. When Lester later heard the song "7 Days",he said he immediately heard a number-one record and promoted the contract to an album deal the same day.[16]

1999–2003:Born to Do ItandSlicker Than Your Average

edit

The song "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)",from the Artful Dodger albumIt'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 onColin Lester's and Ian McAndrew'sWildstar Records,topped the UK chart and was the first of a string of four top 10 singles from his debut albumBorn to Do It,which eventually sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries.[17]The song "Key to My Heart", taken from the US version of the album, was also featured in the award-winningWarner Bros.animated filmOsmosis Jones.

The success of David's debut, which was written almost entirely by David andMark HillofArtful Dodger,led to the United States release of "Fill Me In" in May 2001. It reached number 15 on theBillboardHot 100chart.Born to Do Itwas released in the United States on 17 July 2001, peaking at number 11 on theBillboard200chart and sold over 1 million copies. The single "7 Days" hit the top 10 in the U.S.; although "Walking Away", which had reached number 3 in the UK and number 5 in Australia, missed the top 40 in the U.S. and was the last of his singles to chart there.

In April 2009, MTV viewers votedBorn to Do Itas number 2 on their "Greatest Album of All Time" poll, behindMichael Jackson'sThriller.[18]

The follow-up album,Slicker Than Your Average,was released in 2002. The album's first four singles continued David's streak of top 10 hits in the UK, bringing a total of nine consecutive top 10 hits until "World Filled with Love" peaked at number 15 in 2003. None of the six singles released from the album charted in the U.S. Although "What's Your Flava?" and "Rise & Fall"(duet withSting) received airplay on theurban contemporaryandsoft adult contemporaryformats, they did not make theHot R&B/Hip-Hop SongsorAdult Contemporarycharts. However, "What's Your Flava?" made theRhythmic Top 40chart (number 32),Mainstream Top 40chart (number 24) and theTop 40 Trackschart (number 37). According to theRIAA,Slicker Than Your Averagewas certified gold in the U.S.

David also commented that the album title could be looked at in two different ways: "On the one hand, it's coming across like I'm arrogant. On the other hand, it's saying I have a lot more composure on the album." The album was leaked onto the internet prior to its official release but David was not too bothered as he felt it "spreads the word".[19]

Caricature onBo' Selecta!

edit

David was frequently caricatured by comedianLeigh Francison the British TV comedy showBo' Selecta!;the show's title itself being a reference to his song "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)". Although many other celebrities lampooned in the series appreciated the jokes and even appeared in the series themselves, David—the series' most prominently mocked target—did not enjoy the attention, remarking that the public were no longer taking him seriously.[70]Speaking toThe Sunday Timesin 2007, David said that "The wholeBo' Selecta!thing was killing me for a while because this idiot had a cult following and I was the main caricature.... Inside it was absolutely pissing me off and hurtful beyond belief. There were times when I thought I just want to knock this guy out ".[71]

Although he made an appearance himself on the programme (as the pseudo-fictional tribute act "Craig Davis" ),[72]he regretted it. However, he has also denied that his career had been ruined as a result of the show, and has said that he was satisfied with his musical output over the years.[73][74]

In a 2015 interview with theDaily Mirror,David stated that he had no hard feelings towards Francis, explaining how he had seen him at a wedding and given him a hug, assuring him they were "cool". He further explained in the interview that it was hisPRteam who suggested that he "play hurt" by the caricature.[75]He reiterated this stance onThe Jonathan Ross Showin 2016 and explained that, contrary to popular belief, he had not fled the UK to escape negative attention brought about from the show.[76]

In June 2020, Francis apologised for his portrayal of David (among other black andmixed racecelebrities such asMichael Jackson,Mel BandTrisha Goddard) in the show as a response to theBlack Lives Mattermovement andGeorge Floyd protests,stating that "I want to say sorry for any upset I caused whether I was Michael Jackson, Craig David or Trisha Goddard... all people who I am a big fan of."[77]Bo' Selecta!was removed from thevideo on demandserviceAll 4later that same month for similar reasons.[78]

David raised the topic again in October 2022. "Every sketch felt personal", he toldThe Times."It felt like a vendetta and when it got a following, it became something that affected me. People would shout at me on the street and I felt the same feeling I had when I was bullied at school. Leigh Francis had normalised bullying by making it comedy. When he put blackface on, that was being racist. We can all apologise when on the back foot. Has he reached out to any of the people he did on his show? He hasn't reached out to me. Has he gone to communities to talk about bullying? Racism? And to be educated? You can only ask him."[79]
