If you\u2019re as old as me, then you\u2019ll remember Craig David blasting his way onto the pop\/RnB music scenes almost 20 years ago. He was BIG, BIG news for the British music industry. Young, fresh, hip, American-sounding, sexy-style that everyone went wild for. After being featured on the single \u201cRe-Rewind\u201d by Artful Dodger and then releasing \u201cWalking Away\u201d and \u201c7 Days\u201d, he literally soared to fame overnight. And 20 years later, he\u2019s still very much in demand. <\/p>\n
In his career as a singer, Craig David has 20 UK Top 40 singles and 7 UK Top 40 albums, selling over 15,000,000 records worldwide as a solo artist. He has been nominated for 14 Brit Awards; five times for Best British Male, and twice received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Performance. Later in his career, he\u2019s collaborated with artists such as Eric Morillo and the Backstreet Boys and released his current album \u201cThe Time is Now\u201d in January 2018 featuring hit single \u201cHeartline\u201d. He literally sounds exactly as he did 20 years ago \u2013 young, fresh and hip.
\nTS5 started out as an exclusive \u201cpre-party\u201d hosted by Craig at his penthouse home in Miami. His set combines massive old skool anthems from R&B to swing beat, to garage and bashment, while merging current chart-topping house hits. During a set, he sings, is MC and DJ \u2013 all three talents rolled in to one.<\/p>\n
