Aged 18, he burst onto the scene with the garage classic 'Rewind' and, following the phenomenal success of his debut album Born To Do It, he has continued to top the charts over the past 22 years, amassing 17 million album sales and over 1 billion streams, to date.

From the outside, nobody would know anything about Craig's struggles as I am sure he always comes across as a very upbeat and positive person, always wanting to please everyone which he freely admits to, but sometimes he has had to learn to say no, to protect himself from taking on too much. In 2005, Craig announced that he had signed with Warner Music and put together his third album, 'The Story Goes. I'm still learning, still making mistakes, but I feel ready now - after a lot of twists and turns along the way - to share my journey with you.There's a lot of stuff about intuition, gardening, holding space, being present and mindful all told via Craig's life lessons. For me personally I absolutely loved this book, it was amazing to see someone talk openly about their mental health and their struggles and what they do to overcome it. I’m still learning, still making mistakes, but I feel ready now – after a lot of twists and turns along the way – to share my journey with you.

The British singer shared the news in a video on Twitter today (25 May), explaining that “for the last two years” he’d been working on his first book, which will be published 13 October. Craig’s exposure to music came at an early age as his father was a bass player for the reggae band Ebony Rockers.Craig then signed another new record with Universal Motown and released sixth album 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'. At the end of the day, it’s so easy for the trolls to make such comments; it’s not happening to them.

The video showed the singer getting emotional as he took the book out of the box and looked at the quotes on the back, from the likes of Social Chain founder Steven Bartlett, TV presenter Fearne Cotton, and author Sonia Choquette. In 2017, Craig announced the release of the seventh studio album, 'The Time Is Now', which was released in January 2018 and featured hits like 'Heartline' and 'I Know You' featuring Bastille.From what I could comprehend, it was a nice move to make to reset oneself and get away from that drama for a while, not to mention adding a new vibe to his music. But I feel privileged now - after a lot of interesting twists and turns along the way - to share my journey with you. Detailing a series of lessons learned from an amazing life, many of which he's only realised by looking back. I found it really interesting of how life was like before his major hit of Rewind - That I had no idea he had even wrote. With no place for feelings of insecurity, he learned to push them down, building a reputation as the man who always had a smile on his face.
