David Gray

British singer/songwriter David Gray had already developed a successful career as a folk-rock artist in the mid-90s before his groundbreaking fourth album, White Ladder, taking his mix of acoustic instruments and electronic samples into the mainstream.

Gray's first two albums, A Century Ends and Flesh were issued in 1993 and 1994 respectively and led to Gray becoming popular in folk-rock circles. The re-release of Gray's fourth record album, White Ladder, in 2000 brought him commercial success and critical attention. Two years later, Gray released the follow-up to White Ladder, entitled A New Day at Midnight. After a three-year hiatus, Gray returned with his seventh album, Life in Slow Motion. In the year 2020, Gray released a 20th Anniversary Edition of White Ladder.
