About Example

Elliot Gleave, known professionally as Example, is a British MC, vocalist, and dance-pop pioneer who has adeptly fused hip-hop, electronic, and pop influences throughout his career. His musical journey began at Royal Holloway University, where he collaborated with Joseph Gardner (Rusher) on a concept album. Example’s early work, including his debut single "A Pointless Song" (2004) released on his own All the Chats label, gained underground attention. Notably, his lyrical response "Vile," an answer track to Lily Allen’s "Smile," released through Mike Skinner’s Beats label, helped him build early recognition.

Although his debut album "What We Made" (2007) saw limited commercial success, Example’s breakthrough came after signing with Ministry of Sound’s Data label. Tracks like "Watch the Sun Come Up" (2009) cracked the UK Top 20, while "Won’t Go Quietly" and the Sub Focus-produced "Kickstarts" climbed into the Top Ten and topped dance charts. His sophomore album, "Won’t Go Quietly" (2010), featured collaborations with renowned producers such as Calvin Harris, MJ Cole, and Chase & Status, cementing his appeal across club and mainstream audiences.

Example continued to build momentum with "Playing in the Shadows" (2011), which reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and spawned hits like "Changed the Way You Kissed Me" and "Stay Awake." Subsequent releases, including "The Evolution of Man" (2012) and "Live Life Living" (2014) — crafted with producers like Benga, Dada Life, Stuart Price, and Fraser T. Smith — maintained his presence in the UK electronic scene. After a brief hiatus to focus on family, Example returned with "Bangers & Ballads" (2018), reaffirming his status as a key figure in blending urban lyricism with infectious dance beats.
