1) David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.
Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.
On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life in Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.
Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius De Vries.
David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".
His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

That baritone is so beautiful.
I love the fact DG releases stuff that means something to him, not what’s expected of him, but what he loves and is inspired to write about.
A true to himself artist, that I will forever follow and love and get inspired by.
He stands the test of time.
All that matters are those who stick around Davey baby, and I’ll be sticking around. Your a blessing, you really are xxx
Ashutosh Pandey
Were that the song I'm singing
Was an ocean wide
Let the word I'm breathing
Reach us over to the other side
You chart a burning vessel
Out on a pitch black wave
Chewing the bone and gristle
When it's the flesh of love you crave
When a lie starts dancing
Oh boy, it sure can run
Halfway around the world
Before the truth can get its trousers on
And in a nightclub mirror
We caught the merest glimpse
Of my pre-human spirit
Frozen like a deer in the headlamps
Till it just don't matter
Till we're far from care
When illusion shatters
You see the carnage everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
To where they taste like metal
Through the fog of war
Too many hurts like nettles
Growing up around my door
Then they cut that stairway
Yeah, with my own bare hands
To that high rock plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Inside the winds
Inside the winds
Up to that high rocking plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Chris James
Most underrated singer/songwriter of his generation
Rachel Robertson
Appreciate his work so much!! He has been a kind friend through all life’s ups n downs!! That’s what great music is for! Soul food! He is beloved by many!
Nick Pharo
No I really think he is underrated. As a philosophy student, let me say this: some lyrics/music speaks to us archetypally, that is, it capitalises on metaphorical truth that we find salient becuase of what we are, and our lived experience. Its why some lyrics/music speak to people more than others. Theres a reason Bob Dylan is great songwriter. Its for this reason. He can articulate truths of life through poetry and metaphor. Thats an art, and it takes great understanding to be able to talk about something in a way that people know exactly what you mean, without having explicitly described something. There arent enough poets in music today. David Gray is one.
Greg
Check out the White Ladder 20th anniversary vids. Tons of great people talking about how influential David is to them, from Dave Matthews to John Mayer.
Stew Beattie
Opinions! that's life but seriously David Gray like or not! reality he is up there! gutted for the people who are not listen 😋
Jam Bammz
Agreed.
Fred Garvin
Been a fan since " Century's end". The fact that his channel only has 119k subs with how massively soulful, heartfelt and unique to pure music he is is a sad statement to the state of music today. Bands of purity and true talent are becoming fewer while contract seeking, auto-tune overnighters pop up everywhere. Don't ever change Master David, old dinosaurs like us still need ya. Stay pure my friend 👍
PatchRick
Couldn't agree more! Had the pleasure of meeting David after an amazing gig in Dolans Warehouse in '98 / '99 - what a talent, love every single album and "shine" still one of my faves to play on guitar. Keep it up David!
Willem Groenewegen
Had a beautiful experience with A Century's End, early 2000s. Gray was performing at Melkweg, Amsterdam and I'd brought the LP sleeve to sign. He saw me in the crowd during his performance and signalled to pass it to the front and the other rows in front of me obliged by passing it along. He signed it in silver pen and the sleeve was passed back to me. A lovely artist attracts lovely audience. :)

Exactly how the people of the world are today the problem has echoed through time
