Craig David chats to I Like Music
ILM: If you weren't a musician, what would your second career choice have been/what would you be doing if you weren't a musician?
CRAIG: I think I'd have taken my DJing more seriously. So it would have been something to do with music. I would've liked to be top of my game in DJing like Erick Morillo or someone, but I've been blessed that my music has taken me in the direction it has.
ILM: You've worked with Sting and toured with Mariah Carey, worked with Artful Dodger's Mark Hill and Pete Devereux and wrote Kano's Top 20 single 'This is The Girl'. Any amusing stories from working with the likes of Sting or Kano or Mariah you can share?
CRAIG: With Kano it's funny because he's quiet and comes across like he's very shy. And the thing is, he's a dark horse, because you'll leave for half and hour in a room writing, and you think, 'I don't know if this guy is doing anything or whether he's just thinking about what game he wants to play on his PSP when he gets home' and you'll say, 'are you ready to do something, because the mic's ready' and he's like, 'yeah ok, cool,' and he doesn't really write things down either, so he walks in there and for the next 16 bars of the track, fire comes out of his mouth, and you're like, where did all that come from?

Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
KT Tunstall: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel alive!
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.
