Craig David chats to I Like Music
CRAIG: The hard thing is having that constant advice to make you feel that you can overcome any obstacle or hurdle. It's important to get the timing right. You need to feel that when you go into something that you're really ready for it. It's that idea of 'fail to prepare then prepare to fail'. In anything you want to do, if you go into it half-hearted, at some point there's a good chance you're going to come unstuck. Whereas when you're confident enough with any line of work that you realise you're in a place in your mind where you're comfortable, confident and you still have a lot to learn but know you can go out there and you think, 'I'm in the right frame of mind to make this work.'
ILM: You quit college half way through your course to go into the studio full time because of your passion… what were you studying at college?
CRAIG: I was doing a GNVQ and NVQ in Electronics at Southampton City College. It was close to my home and it was the closest thing I thought I could get to music because I could fix things if I needed to, but I had no interest in it at all. I was chilling out trying to sell mix tapes in the cafeteria.

Kal Lavelle: ilikemusic because... it's cheaper than a therapist! ;)
Omid16B: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel whole and makes me feel like I have my feet on the ground. It makes me feel love again and reminds me of what we are. It allows me to express myself.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
James, Maroon 5: ilikemusic because... It is a gateway into the present moment.
Jair Dynast: ilikemusic because... I am able to express my thoughts and ideas with a worldwide audience and make a lasting connection with the fans that relate to my music. It's a special gift to be able to share my life experiences through music and have it connect with so many people. Hopefully in many cases my music can help fans through the day, the month or the year. Blessings to all music lovers!!
Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
Estelle: ilikemusic because... It enables me to get my feelings out and it’s borderline therapy for me. Music makes me feel.
