Craig was born in Galashiels on 8th Aug 1985. He plays acoustic 6 and 12 string guitar, harmonica and writes his own music and lyrics.

Craig came into the public eye December 2006, through Rock Against Racism a competition run by Emap radio. Craig had been entered by his dad who hear about the event on Radio Borders and didn't tell him about it until he had made it to the final public vote. That week was a long one and Craig thought it was great to get into the final five. But when he got the email to say that he'd won and he was opening for Narina Pallot and Paolo Nutini at the Tate Hall Kelso he was ecstatic. It was the biggest gig of his life and when he walked on stage in front of hundreds of music lovers he was more than a little nervous. But starting the first song that soon went, the crowd took to him straightaway responding to his quiet manner and boyish charm. He sang Hard To Say for the first time in front of anyone even his family, and dedicated it to the two people who would have love to be there but couldn't his Grand Parents There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

I think almost everyone could relate to what this young man had put into this song and the emotion behind it.
