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 4 on the UK Albums Chart and peaked at number 1 on the UK Dance Chart. and followed his debut album "What We Made" which was heavily hip-hop influenced due to Gleave only knowing a hip-hop record producer at the time. 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.〔(Playing In the Shadows (Bonus Track Version) ). itunes.apple.com〕 The album topped the charts with two number 1 singles, "Changed the Way You Kiss Me" (produced by Michael Woods) and "Stay Awake" (produced by electronic duo Nero).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Example – Playing In The Shadows Review )〕 His fourth album, ''The Evolution of Man'' was released on 19 November 2012 and peaked at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and also peaked at number 1 on the UK Dance Chart. Since ''The Evolution of Man'', Gleave has released the lead single from his next album, entitled "All the Wrong Places" which was produced by Alfie Bamford and co-produced by Gleave and Steve Hill. It was the first song to be released through Epic Records and did so on 8 September 2013 peaking at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Then, "Kids Again", was released on 16 March 2014 and hit number 13 in the UK Single's charts. The fifth album, ''Live Life Living'', was released on 7 July 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Twitter / example: June 23rd )〕 Speaking in an interview for Australian television in 2013 Gleave referenced that he "might do music for another 5 years and then () would like to move into film directing" (preferably horror/thrillers). ==Early life== Elliot Gleave was born at West London Hospital in Hammersmith, the elder of two children. He later went on to attend ADT College (now Ashcroft Technology Academy) in Putney. 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", and to the fact that he was not particularly good at any sports, so started rapping to fit in socially. His first experience of rapping was through a rap battle at a house party in Shepherd's Bush in 1994, when he was 12 years old. In that battle, he, in his own words, "completely destroyed a useless wanker and a fight broke out so (he) sprinted home". It was during this period that he met Joseph Gardner, AKA Rusher, the producer whom he would go on to work with during his time releasing tracks independently through his All The Chats imprint, and later on Mike Skinner's label The Beats. Gleave and Gardner made a concept album in the audio booth of the University film department; this concept album contained the track which would go on to be Example's first white-label vinyl release, "A Pointless Song." He returned to the UK and became a voiceover artist and editor for the Paramount Comedy Channel (now Comedy Central),〔(The Fulham rapper leading by Example – Music – Arts – Evening Standard ).
