Example, full name - Elliot John Gleave, is an English musician, singer, songwriter & record producer.

 

His name arose due to his initials being E.G., which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase exempli gratia ("for example").

 

Example first found success with the release of his second studio album, Won't Go Quietly, which peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart and peaked at number one on the UK Dance Chart and followed his debut album "What We Made" which was heavily hip-hop influenced due to Example only knowing a hip-hop record producer at the time.

The album topped the charts with two number-one singles, "Changed the Way You Kiss Me" and "Stay Awake" (produced by electronic duo Nero).
