David Gray is an English singer-songwriter known for his distinctive raspy voice and emotionally driven blend of folk, rock and electronic music.

Born in 1968, he rose to international fame with his 1998 album White Ladder, which became one of the best-selling records of the 2000s in the UK and Ireland, featuring hits like Babylon and This Year's Love.

His music is often characterised by introspective lyrics and a stripped-back, acoustic style, though he has also incorporated electronic elements into his sound.

And that's exactly what Trina asked him about! In Ireland's Classic Hits Radio's headquarters, David spilled the tea on all things 90's.

Why do people assume he is Irish when he was born in the UK? How des he feel about fellow artists being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

How did he create his chart-topping album 'White Ladder', with hit song Babylon, from his small London appartment?

Listen to the full interview here - and get the answers to all those questions and more!

Of course, we had to get it on video... Below is a snippet of the full interview, from Classic Hits' Instagram page.
