Elliot John Gleave (20 June 1982) better known by his stage name Example, is a British singer and rapper signed to Data Records. His name arose due to his initials being E.G., which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "exempli gratia", which means "for example".
Example first found success with the release of his second album, Won't Go Quietly, which peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart. The album had two top 10 singles, Won't Go Quietly and Kickstarts.
His third album Playing in the Shadows was released on 4 September 2011. The album debuted at number 1 on the UK Album Charts with two number 1 singles, Changed the Way You Kiss Me and Stay Awake.
Elliot Gleave was born at a West London Pub, Hammersmith, the elder of two children, and attended All Saints Primary School in Fulham. He later went on to attend ADT College (now Ashcroft Technology Academy) in Wandsworth. Gleave has claimed in interviews that the main reason he started rapping was due to his introduction to hip-hop through albums by Wu-Tang Clan and Snoop Dogg – the latter's album purchased primarily for "the cool cover art".
