Get to know the artist
Artful Dodger are a UK garage act from Southampton, started by Mark Hill and Pete Devereux. Their single "Re-Rewind", featuring Craig David, reached No. 2 in December 1999. Hill and Devereux split in 2001, when Blessed Records bought the name, and the act now tours with DJ Dave Low and MC Alistair. In 2017 Hill and Devereux got back together as Original Dodger.
