David Gray (Rock)

Welsh singer-songwriter David Gray's story is the classic scenario of the overnight success that took years to happen. He emerged in the early 1990s as an acoustic-based artist heavily influenced by old-school troubadours like Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. After a few more fine but financially unsuccessful albums, he finally broke through to the mainstream in 1999 with WHITE LADDER, an album that organically meshed Gray's singer-songwriter aesthetic with a more contemporary electronica-flavored sound.
