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.
