Artful Dodger est un groupe britannique de RnB et de 2-step garage originaire de Southampton. Estos músicos adoptaron este nombre debido a las innumerables copias piratas que hicieron de sus sencillos en sus inicios. El nombre de la banda surge del apodo de un personaje de la novela de Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist llamado Jack Dawkins, cuya picardía y habilidades de carterista lo lleva a ocupar el liderazgo de la banda de niños callejeros. Artful Dodger es un grupo británico de R&B y UK Garage procedente de la ciudad de Southampton, que se hizo famoso gracias a sus éxitos 2 Step y lanzó la carrera de Craig David tras su participación en el éxito "Re-Rewind" en diciembre de 1999. When the original two producers, Mark Hill and Pete Devereux, formally announced the reestablishment of their creative partnership in 2017, they reunited under the name "Original Dodger". The Artful Dodger name is currently the property of Blessed Records, also known as Public Demand Records, and is represented on the live circuit by DJ Dave Low and MC Alistair. This version of Artful Dodger became defunct as of 10 July 2001. What began as a handle for the release of underground bootleg recordings quickly blossomed into a musical project creating original material for mainstream release and culminated in the release of It's All About the Stragglers, after the duo went on to work with an array of up-and-coming vocalists. The band originally consisted of producers Mark Hill (born 22 December 1972 in Cwmbran, Wales) and Pete Devereux. ARTFUL DODGER BAND SERIES
