Does anyone know the name of the guitarist he works with? I recall an interview in which he (David) told of how an American music producer advised him to drop his white guitarist if he wanted success in the American R'n'B scene. David commented how he would never drop a friend for success, and that the notion that working with a white musician was damaging to his image was appalling and worrying to him. What a nice chap he is.

The name of his guitarist is "Fraser T Smith".

Guest appearance on It's All About The Stragglers (Artful Dodger album):

1999 "Re-Rewind The Crowd Say Bo Selecta" (Artful Dodger featuring Craig David) #2 UK

Rewind was on born to do it too, well at least my copy has it (It's australian)

>the rewind on the album (uk version atleast.. IDK if there was a specific aus version) is a slower version.. not the same song. the Artful Dodger version is the one which was the single. i would edit it in myself but someone has vandalized and i'm not registered so i can't revert it..

Do you know what the names of Craig David's current backing singers are? Amanda & Russ, Leicestershire

[edit] Good Article

I think this article is horrendous, it quotes chart placing throughout, which makes difficult reading. Maybe a table at the bottom? Also it keeps referring to his US success, which we know has been limited, by the fact it is parodied on many comedy shows, not least Sacha Baron Cohen and Bo Selecta shows.

[edit] song used in advertisments

His song "What's ya flava" is also used in a television ad for Popeye's Chicken. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cbxweb (talk • contribs) 06:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Buddhist?

There seems to be some clues that point to Craig David being a possible Buddhist, is there any confirmation on this? Craig has at least one Buddhist statue in his house (a huge one at that), uses the hand thing (I can't remember it's name) as a greeting and as a thankyou, and I have seen him mentioning karma before.
