David has been nominated for fourteen Brit Awards: five times for Best British Male, and twice receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
David was born in Southampton, Hampshire, the son of Tina (née Loftus), a retail assistant at Superdrug, and George David, a carpenter, and grew up in the Holyrood estate. David's father is Afro-Grenadian and David's mother is Anglo-Jewish and related to the founders of the Accurist watch-making company; David's maternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew and his maternal grandmother a convert to Judaism. David's parents separated when he was eight and he was brought up by his mother. He attended Bellemoor School and Southampton City College.
David was bullied by other students at school. He wrote and released the song "Johnny" in 2005 about his sad memories of being bullied.
David's father played bass in a reggae band called Ebony Rockers. As a teen, David began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone.
On 9 September 2020, David signed a global publishing deal with New York-based Round Hill Music. The agreement includes all of David's music catalogue to date, and also includes a futures agreement that will see all of his new music administered by the company.
On 30th December 2020, David was announced on the Queen’s New Year Honours List to receive an MBE in recognition of his services to music. His manager Colin Lester was also awarded an OBE in recognition of his services to the music industry and to charity.

Yeah, well come on, check it out
What'chu doing 'cause we'll be rendezvousing and
You know we'll be getting some, getting jiggy just for fun
What'chu doing 'cause we'll be rendezvousing and
You know we'll be getting some, getting jiggy just for fun
What'chu doing 'cause we'll be rendezvousing and
You know we'll be getting some, getting jiggy just for fun

Six o'clock in the morning
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Felt just like an ordinary day
Just around the corner, such a surprise
A beautiful angel materialized
Time stood still face to face
I'm sure we'd met in another time and place
Our eyes met as you passed me by (passed me by)
Two souls entwined in the blink of an eye, yeah
And I had to figure out what I'd be missing
So I turned to you and asked you if you wanted to
(You know we'll be getting some)
(Getting jiggy just for fun)
Rendezvous where to, my place say two
And we can do anything you wanna do
Hey, tonight is your night, yeah
When you close your eyes
Take a minute, take a moment, realize
Do you see me when you fantasize?
Tonight'll be your night
I'm just sitting here daydreaming about you
And all the things you do
Girl, feels so right
And all I know is you're the one for me
That special kind of lady
In my life, in my life
Well, here I am writing you a love song
Holding back those years
It's been so long
And I can't deny the way that I'm feeling

The lyrics to Craig David's song Rendezvous describe a chance encounter with a beautiful stranger that becomes a night of passion and pleasure. The song begins with David asking what the listener is doing because they will be rendezvousing and getting jiggy just for fun. At six o'clock in the morning, he meets an "angel" who materializes out of nowhere. They share a moment, and David decides to ask her to come home with him. He sings about the night that will be her night and asks her to close her eyes and take a moment to realize what's happening.
Throughout the song, David sings about daydreaming about the listener, holding back his feelings, and wanting her to be with him. He repeatedly emphasizes that tonight is her night, indicating that he wants to make it special for her. The lyrics are filled with sexual undertones, but they're presented in a tasteful way that isn't overtly explicit. The melody of the song is catchy, and David's smooth voice adds to the sensual ambiance of the lyrics.
