“Craaaaaaaaaaaaig Daaaaaaaavid”, is not what the real Craig David would like to be known for, funnily enough.
Putting the mockery that was Bo Selecta behind him, the platinum-selling singer is heading out on tour again.
Craig David is in fact one of the UK music scene’s most successful male solo exports. In addition to albums sold and awards won, Craig helped redefine British pop music with his debut album Born To Do It. Years before Tinchy, Chipmunk or N-Dubz arrived on Radio 1, Craig brought everything from UK garage, to stripped back acoustics and electro-edged R&B to the UK charts.
Proving his popularity has far from faded, last year, MTV viewers voted Craig’s Born To Do It the second Greatest Album Ever in MTV history, just behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Craig David’s world tour, will take him to Indonesia, Australia, Europe and the UK throughout 2013. Every ticket buyer will also receive a link to download a free exclusive new track. Craig is also currently working on his next studio album, set for release later this year. Until then you can catch Craig when he plays Manchester Ritz on Monday 20 May.
Tickets go onsale Friday 8 March at 9am and will be available from www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
