As a teen, David began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone.David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a b-side to British group Damage's cover of %22Wonderful Tonight%22. He then started doing vocals for a few tracks with garage act Artful Dodger. The song %22Re-Rewind%22, from the Artful Dodger album It's All About the Stragglers, hit Number 2 on the UK charts in 1999; thus, paving the way for a solo career. David's first single, %22Fill Me In%22, released on Colin Lester's and Ian McAndrew's Wildstar Records made him the youngest solo male artist ever to reach Number 1 in the United Kingdom (he was 18 years old at the time). This was the first of a string of four Top 10 singles from his debut album Born To Do It, which eventually sold more than seven million units worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries.
