ʻO ka mea mua loa o ka moʻolelo, ʻo Fill Me In, ua hana ʻo David i ka mea mele Pelekania ʻōpio loa i luna o nā palapala ma kona ʻāina. Ua kākau ʻoluʻolu ka poʻe nūpepa e pili ana i ke keiki akamai, mahalo i kona leo nani a me ka hiki ke kākau i nā mele.

ʻO ke kamaliʻi ʻo Craig David
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Craig David ma ka lā 5 o Mei, 1981 ma Southampton, ʻEnelani. ʻO ka mea mele ʻōpio ka huahana o kahi hui lehulehu Pelekane, i hānau ʻia i kahi makuahine Anglo-Jewish keʻokeʻo a he makua kāne Afro-Grenadian i 1981.
Ua kaʻawale nā mākua o David i kona wā he 8 makahiki, a ua hānai ʻia ke keikikāne e kona makuahine. Ua hele ʻo ia i ke kula ʻo Bellemoor a me Southampton City College.
Noho ʻo David a me kona makuahine ma kahi wahi ʻilihune o ke kūlanakauhale awa o Southampton, ua hana kona makuahine ma ke ʻano he mea kūʻai aku, a ua ulu ʻo David e hoʻolohe ana i nā moʻolelo o nā hōkū ʻAmelika e like me Stevie Wonder a me Michael Jackson.
Ua ʻike liʻiliʻi ʻo ia e pili ana i ka ʻoihana o kona makuakāne ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani reggae me ka Ebony Rockers, akā i kona lilo ʻana i ka hoihoi i ka hana mele ponoʻī, ua hāʻawi kona makuakāne iā ia i nā haʻawina kīkā a hoʻāʻo e hoʻokomo i kāna keiki i ke mele kahiko.
“Makemake au i ke kīkā, akā ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo i kēlā mau mele kahiko. Makemake wale au e hīmeni, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo David ma hope i ka hālāwai ninaninau me Entertainment Robbunner i kēlā me kēia pule.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka o ka hana a Craig David
I kaʻikeʻana i ka hoihoi o kāna keiki i ke mele, ua hoʻomaka kona makuakāne e lawe iā David me ia i nā'ahamele ma nā hale pō, kahi i hele pū ai ka'ōpio Craig me kona makuakāne. I kekahi o nā hana, ua ʻohi ʻo David i kahi microphone a mai ia manawa ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kaʻawale me ia.
Kapa inoa ʻia ʻo CD no kona aloha i ka mele, ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he disc jockey ma Southampton, he mea hoʻokipa lekiō pirate, kahi cashier a McDonald, kahi mea kūʻai puka aniani, a kākau mālie i kāna mau mele ponoʻī.
I kona komo ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū hīmeni ʻāina i ka makahiki 15, ua lanakila ʻo ia i ka makana mua me I'm Ready, ka lanakila mua o kāna ʻoihana hīmeni.
ʻO ka hola maikaʻi loa o ka mea pena
I ka makahiki 1997, ua hui ʻo David i ka mea hoʻokani mele ʻo Mark Hill mai ka hui ʻo Artful Dodger. Ua ʻike nui ʻia ka hui ma ke ʻano he leo "garage".
Ua hana ʻo David me Hill ma ke keena a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he leo hoʻokipa ma ka hui ʻo Artful Dodger track Re-Rewind i ka hopena o 1999. Ua hiki ke mele i ka helu 2 ma nā palapala kiʻi UK a ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana solo a Craig.
Ua kākau pū ʻo David lāua ʻo Hill i ke mele What Ya Gonna Do?, i lilo i mea paʻi. Ua alakaʻi ʻia ʻo David i kahi ʻaelike me Wildstar Records e hoʻopaʻa i kāna mau mele ponoʻī.
Hana ʻia e kāna hoaaloha ʻo Hill, ʻo David's Born to Do It i paʻi i nā hale kūʻai palapala UK i ka makahiki 2000.
Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia kāna mau mele R&B puʻuwai e like me Last Night a me Follow Me i ka poʻe pā, a ʻo ka mea hoʻokahi, Fill Me In, hiki i ka piko o nā palapala i ʻApelila.
Ua loaʻa i ka hana nā loiloi maikaʻi mai ka paʻi mele a ua hoʻokipa ʻia e ka lehulehu. Ua kaulana loa ʻo David Craig ma ʻEnelani.
ʻO kāna mau mele ʻekolu aʻe i paʻi i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe, a ʻo kāna album mua, ʻo Born To Do It, ua kūʻai aku ma luna o 7 miliona mau album ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
Pōmaikaʻi honua
Ua alakaʻi ʻia ka holomua o ka album i kahi hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka US, kahi i piʻi ai ʻo Fill Me In ma ka helu 15 ma ka Billboard Hot 100. Ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 11 a me 7 Days i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ʻelua a Craig Slicker Than Your Average ma 2002. Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻaʻole maikaʻi ma mua o kona mua.
Ua hui pū ʻo Craig David me Sting on Rise and Fall. Ua piʻi ka mele ma ka helu 2 ma nā palapala palapala UK Billboard akā ʻaʻole i hiki ke kiʻi ʻia ma nā palapala palapala R&B/Hip-Hop.
Ma 2005, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Craig David i kāna album ʻekolu ma Warner Music. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ma US. Ua noʻonoʻo ʻo Label Atlantic Records ʻaʻole lawa kēia diski i ke kālepa.
ʻO All the Way ka mea mua loa mai ka album a piʻi i ka helu 3 ma UK. Akā ʻaʻole aloha hou iā ʻoe (e kala mai au) i hoʻopau i nā pule he 15 ma ka 75 kiʻekiʻe.
I ka makahiki 2007, ua hana pū ʻo Craig me Kano ma ke mele ʻO kēia ke kaikamahine, kahi i piʻi i ka helu 18 ma ka papa mele.
Ma hope o kēlā makahiki, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Craig i ka mele mua loa mai kāna album hou, Trust Me. Ua hōʻea ʻo Hot Stuff i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe a ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 18.
"6 o 1 Mea" - ʻo ka lua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album i lilo i mea kūʻai liʻiliʻi loa a Craig. He 39 wale nō kona kūlana.
I ka makahiki 2010, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i kāna album ʻelima, i kapa ʻia ʻo Signed Sealed Delivered. Ma hope o 6 mau makahiki, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album aʻe, ʻo Following My Intuition.
I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā mele kaulana a ka mea mele.
I ka makahiki 2017, aia kahi honua hou i "breakthrough" i kāna hana. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Craig i ka Walking Away hoʻokahi, ka mea i poʻokela i nā papa palapala honua.
Ma waena o 2000 a me 2001 ua hāʻawi ʻia ka mea hoʻokani i nā makana mele ma ke kahua o nā mele kaulana. Loaʻa iā ia ʻelua MTV Europe Music Awards ma 2001.
