2. David Gray
For a multi-million selling arena artist who made one of the bestselling British albums of the 21st century, David Gray is perhaps a little misunderstood. The blockbuster White Ladder (first released in 1998 on his own kitchen sink IHT label) took years to break through, pushing his intense and passionate blend of acoustics and electronica into the pop spotlight. After Gray came the singer-songwriter deluge: Ed Sheeran has admitted “White Ladder molded me as an artist and a fan.” But whilst huge stars from Adele to Hozier have acknowledged Gray’s profound impact and influence, Gray himself has continued to plough his own furrow, relentlessly seeking out a purity of artistic expression. The work matters deeply to him. “What I want is something that when you touch it, you know it’s real,” is how David puts it.
