David Gray attended the Carmarthenshire College of Art and the Liverpool School of Art.
David Gray's music career started in 1993, releasing debut album, "A Century Ends", he quickly went on the release second studio album, "Flesh", which led the singer songwriter to be recognised by popular folk and indie labels. David continued to record and work hard, released a third album in 1996, named, "Sell, sell, sell". Although he changed his style slightly, using his now trademark style of folk, alternative rock and electronics, the album was still unsuccessful.
Finally, the release of his fourth album, "White Ladder" in 2000 bought him success. The breakthrough was thanks to his best-known songs: "This Year's Love" and "Babylon". "Babylon" was number 1 in the charts for six weeks and sold over 100,000 copies alone in Ireland.
David's hard work and persistence paid off and the album was number 1 in the UK Albums Chart for two and a half years.
He has been nominated for four Brit Awards – twice for Best British Male. David Gray has toured since his music career began in 1993 and has since performed with acts, Kirsty MacColl, Dave Matthews Band and Radiohead.
3rd time I've seen David Gray and against expectations, the best. It was a bold move to front load the set list with new songs with the new album not yet released but it made for a powerful listening experience as the artist performed his new compositions to an audience hearing them for the first time - and they are strong tracks. Then when the older material was woven into the set it was with plenty of creativity and a willingness to take his classic tracks to new places. My Oh My, Please Forgive Me and The Other Side were delivered with power and an inventive energy. The encore opened with an acoustic Babylon with everyone singing along in accompaniment and then a tender This Year's Love on piano, cello and bass - beautiful. The closer, Nemesis, wouldn't have been my choice, but by this stage everyone was won over, enthralled at such great songs performed so creatively. Great gig, great performer. I'll be back for more.
