British singer-songwriter, David Gray was born in Sale (Cheshire), on June 13, 1968. Growing up in coastal Wales, before a move to Liverpool where he attended university, folksy lyricist David Gray was making music long before he entered the public consciousness, touring widely and gathering a devoted army of fans throughout the 1990s. The singer released three albums and worked alongside two different labels before eventually going it alone in 1998. His breakthrough finally came in the wake of the decision to self-finance his fourth album, and the gamble paid off. Celebrating his independence and embracing his acoustic edge, David Gray's White Ladder burst into the charts in 1999, spawning such memorable tracks as "Babylon" and "This Year's Love". Following a successful appearance on the main stage at Glastonbury, the album soon went multi-platinum and hit number one on the UK Albums Chart. Fresh from a three-year break from the limelight, further albums have since followed though none have yet matched the halcyon days of White Ladder. Draw the Line, released in 2009, saw collaborations with Annie Lennox and folksy US recording artist Jolie Holland. He released Foundling in 2010 before taking another break. After signing a deal with Kobalt Label Services, he released Mutineers, his first album in four years, before embarking on a small UK tour. He compiled The Best of David Gray for 2016 followed by Gold in a Brass Age in 2019. The following year, David Gray celebrated the 20th anniversary of White Ladder with an expanded reissue and a international tour cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic, then postponed to 2022. He released his 12th studio album Skellig in 2021, followed four years later by Dear Life, including the duet "Plus & Minus" with Talia Rae. In 2026, David Gray returned with Nightjar, a album of 19 tracks featuring new versions of older songs.
