Raised in the main by women, Craigs, gentle approach to love is also boundaries by an intense fear of being hurt.

I challenge him on that locked heart

and the continued absence of a significant other

In this episode Craig pushes back!

He takes me out of my comfort zone & we both learn a little more than we

expected.

From  Southampton to London to Miami and back, with all the giant leaps and many massive missteps, Craig has sustained and is man who just won’t give up on his dreams

enjoy episode 2 

Today, in this our first ever full episode of Press Record, we talk people pleasing, imposter syndrome, chocolate addiction & positivity with the bona-fide legend that is Craig David

I have known Craig since he was a 15 year old awkward but focused teenager

with a hit making ability and hopes for a career in music.

There is no question that Craig has delivered on tat focus, every one from Drake to Bieber to

Stormy respect and are influenced by his voice & talent, he is not only divinely gifted but his humility and vulnerability are worn like badges of honor in a career that spans decades and whilst stellar, has not always felt stable.

In today’s Conversation we go in. we dig deeper than Craig has ever been willing to go before.

We uncover some difficult truths but also celebrate not only the undisclosed suffering of a genius but also the incredible success of the gentle kind & caring human that he has

become .

Craig is an artist who has always felt the need to take control of his world, so when I ask ask who is Craig david when no one is looking, the answer might suprise you.

Enjoy.

In a world full of noise. Talk is cheap. Truth, expensive.

The WHY of Press Record is to offer artists a safe place to be curious. To have an honest curated conversation that we sculpt and caress into life. Their story in their words.

Press Record is not just promo or another artistically cloaked sales mechanism, its a place to explore, to figure our who we are, why we do what we do and what we can learn in the mirror of another artists words.

Welcome to Press Records and our first Trailer.

My Name is Phil Griffin, an artist photographer & film director, your guide in these new conversations.

My life as an artist has blessed me with collaborations with some incredible artists from many disciplines & somehow the work we make has always led to deep & meaningful conversations.

After 2 years with Audible making Award wining Podcast Origins I felt it would be a wonderful next step to take the chats I had at work while photographing & filming my friends one step further & let the world in. I wanted to let the conversations that so often moved me deeply become shared with the world in the hope they may move others.

These Press Record Conversations are designed to open a new space for artists to talk candidly about their life & work. Its about getting to the heart of the artists path, the heart of how they life & art have unfolded. Our collaborators are diverse. Celeste, Craig David, Loreen, Gareth Gates, Amverick Sabre & Many more . Beginning with my friends and heroes from music but we will develop into art, fashion & sport. This will be a show about extra-ordinary stories.

On Press Record, I hope to explore those moments in our lives that change & shape us forever. Every Step in My Life Has Led me Here. That simple idea is how we begin our exploration. Then. We press record & see what happens
