Craig David: "I Sold 7 Million… Then They Said I Was Finished" | One on One with Kris Fade

Craig David sold 7 million copies of his debut album. When the follow-up did 3.5 million, he was told it should have done 10. Kris Fade sits down with Craig David for a conversation that goes well beyond the hits: the Sydney cafe where Born to Do It became Kris's soundtrack, why Craig stops for every fan, and what chasing external validation really costs. Kris opens up about the troll who turned out to be a fan, parenting in the social media era, divorce and co-parenting, and the five-year rule before marrying Brianna. Craig talks about hosting his first full family dinner in his 40s, the shadow work behind his book What's Your Vibe?, his Miami years, getting ripped and letting it go, and why a career is about getting back on the board when the wave crashes.
