Craig began performing at age 12 and took a break from this in 1992 to pursue his own indepth researches into the music of different cultures and times together with the spiritual/esoteric side of music. Within this extensive research such diverse things as music for healing, music for causing elevated states of consciousness, colour music, sacred dance music, even music for growing tomatoes were experimented with.
