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?
