克雷格·大卫(英语:Craig David,全名Craig Ashley David,1981年5月5日-),英国流行歌手。他擅唱节奏蓝调(R&B)音乐。他在1999年出道至今,共发行了5张录音室专辑:《Born to Do It》、《Slicker Than Your Average》、《The Story Goes…》、《Trust Me》和《Signed Sealed Delivered》。

Craig David是英国正当红的R&B守护者。1981年5月5日出生于英国的Southampton,母亲是有着一半犹太血统的白人,父亲来自格林纳达(Grenada)。他的父亲George David是一名木匠,同时兼任一个名叫Ebony Rockers的雷鬼乐队的贝司。作为一个少年,David陪着他父亲进入各种当地酒吧,在那里DJ们允许他使用话筒。自小受贝司手父亲的音乐熏陶,很早就在俱乐部担任说唱歌手和DJ 。

David最早走入公众视野是在英国团体的一首非专辑发行曲目Wonderful Tonight中。之后他作为主唱和车库歌手Artful Dodger合作了一些曲目。歌曲Rewind在Artful Dodger的专辑中得以发行。它是一首关于游荡者的歌曲,在1999年的英国排行榜中位列第二。这为他之后的独唱生涯铺垫了道路。David的首个单曲Fill Me In使他成为了有史以来获得英国排行榜冠军的最年轻的男歌手。(当时他只有19岁)。这还只是他处子专辑Born To Do It获得的4个前十单曲的第一个,而这张专辑在超过20个国家中赢得白金销量,在全世界共卖出了700万张。来自于美版专辑的歌曲Key To My Heart,还作为了法雷利兄弟的获奖电影终极细胞战(Osmosis Jones)的插曲。

Craig David顶着2000年横扫欧陆年度销售新人、单曲专辑三冠王超人气,开创“两步/Garage”曲风,让乐评一面倒为其开拓音乐新格局喝彩,2001年2月又创下全英音乐奖六项提名历史纪录,却在颁奖典礼成为空手而返的失意小帅哥,眼睁睁看着奖项落入罗比威廉斯手中,两人互有心结甚嚣尘上,但Craig David并未因此意志消沉,除了得到许多大小音乐奖肯定,马上前往美国进行宣传,最后天从人愿,Craig David的单曲《Fill Me In》夺得销售榜第三名,首张专辑《Born To Do It(天生好手)》七月一举打入全美排行11名!

事实上,Craig David、Robbie Williams、Ronan Keating三人在英国歌坛似乎有彼此较劲抢占头号男歌手的目的,但Craig不仅没成为Robbie和Ronan的眼中钉,俩人更不止一次表示欣赏Craig,希望彼此有合作机会,Ronan甚至呼吁三人公开合作为公益抛砖引玉,传为歌坛佳话。而自从“英国小天王”窜红来,歌坛也掀起一阵“Craig David旋风”,从艾尔顿强、U2、Jamiroquai、Sisqo、Usher等都对他的音乐深深着迷,不停在访问中提及对Craig的喜爱,就连“全球性感女神”珍妮佛洛佩兹也情不自禁点名要和他飙歌,更巧的是珍妮佛前男友吹牛老爹还曾力邀克Craig加入自己的唱片公司。美国媒体则比喻Craig David是继乔治迈可后最令人期待的英国男歌手,七月Craig David在洛杉矶的表演引来布兰妮和贾斯汀情人档的热情捧场,而他在纽约中央公园的现场演出更造成轰动。

事业一帆风顺,Craig David自然逃不过狗仔队的注意,成为“绯闻男女”,拍拖的对像更是赫赫有名的“全美少男杀手”Willa Ford。Willa是后街男孩Nick Carter的前任女友,不但拥有相当的知名度,她大胆穿着和敢说敢做的个性更电倒无数少男,而Willa最近发行的个人专辑也有不俗的成绩,但这对“同门好友”最终为了彼此事业,结束了只维持了三个月感情。

近来不少新人相继涌现英美乐坛,一众偶像派新星故然备受瞩目,但创作派的新秀亦看头十足!23岁的Craig David,一出道便被誉为英国R&B新星,不但囊括了英国乐坛六项大奖,首张大碟”Born To Do It”亦获得白金销量,四张Singles(包括”Seven Days”及”Fill Me In”)高据其它欧美国家流行榜,Craig David更成为首位夺得英国细碟及大碟榜冠军的最年轻歌手。

现为白金销量歌手的Craig David出生于英国南安普敦,童年时已发挥出其音乐才华。十五岁时,年纪轻轻的Craig David受到母亲的鼓励下,参加了作曲比赛。他只用了两天时间来完成的参赛歌曲”I’m Ready”,更令他在比赛中脱颖而出。胜出比赛除了令他的作品被流行乐队Damage采用外,更为Craig David打开其歌唱事业。

On my way to see my friends
Who lived a couple blocks away from me, oh
As I walked through the subway
It must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
Stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it’d cost her her name
A six digit number
And a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No
Didn’t she mind? I don’t think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn’t wait
Cinnamon queen? Let me update
What did she say? She said she’d love to rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we’d start with a bottle of moet for two

1 – Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

Nine was the time
Cuz I be gettin’ mine
And she was looking fine
Smooth talker, she told me
She’d love to unfold me all night long
Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
From the front to back she flipped it
And I, oh, oh, I, yeah
Hope that she’d care
Cuz I’m a man who’ll always be there
I’m not a man to play around baby
Cuz a one night stand isn’t really fair
From the first impression girl, hmm, you don’t seem to be like that
Cuz there’s no need to chat, for there’ll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
When you’re feeling all alone
All you gotta do
Is just call me, call me

1 – Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

(Break it down, uh, break it down)
Since I met this special lady
Ooh yeah
I can’t get her off my mind
She’s one of a kind
And I ain’t about to deny it
It’s a special kind of thing
With you, ohh

1 – Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday

And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday

Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
