David Gray's music was pirated more than any other artist in the UK.
Gray toured with Radiohead.
Then Dave Matthews.
He sold out every show he booked.
People sang his songs.
But, he was broke.
Three albums, same result.
People killed for his music, but nobody actually bought it.
Gray was a well-known, best-kept secret.
However. He believed in himself and his music.
Dropped by his first two labels, Gray went solo.
He locked himself in his flat for a month.
He took every penny he had.
And he created an album called White Ladder.
That album, holy cow!
It reached multi-platinum, scored 5 hit singles and won a 2002 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist!
See Gray perform on his 1st tour after hitting it big:
