Early Life and Interests
From Sports to Arts
When David was young, his family moved back to Portugal. He loved football and joined a junior team in 2001. However, a knee injury meant he couldn't continue playing professionally.
After his injury, David decided to focus on a career in the arts and fashion. This made sense because he comes from a very artistic family! His father, Tony Carreira, is a super famous singer in Portugal. His mother, Fernanda Antunes, manages his father's career. David's older brother, Mickael Carreira, also started a singing career in 2007. His younger sister, Sara, was also a well-known singer.
David's first step into the artistic world was as a model. He walked in fashion shows like "ModaLisboa" and "Portugal Fashion". He also appeared in advertisements for big brands like Cacharel.

Music Journey
In October 2011, David released his first music album, N.1. French producers Tefa et Blasta helped create the album. It featured a cool mix of pop, dance, hip hop, and R&B music. The album was a huge success! It stayed on the Portuguese music charts for 43 weeks and reached the number one spot. It sold so many copies that it was certified double platinum. The song "Esta noite" from the album became a big hit. David then went on a big tour, ending with a special concert in Lisbon in 2013.
On November 11, 2013, he released his second album, A força está em nós. This album included songs with famous artists like Snoop Dogg, Anselmo Ralph, and French singer Léa Castel.
David also started building his career outside of Portugal, especially in France. He signed a deal with Warner France. His first song released in France was "Obrigado la famille", which he sang with French rapper Dry. This song was produced by Wati B, a company known for working with big French hip hop artists.
This song was a preview of his French album, which came out in 2014. That album also featured collaborations with other artists like Tal and Tunisiano. Another popular song, "Boom", was released. David even performed "Boom" live on a famous French TV show called Vivement Dimanche.
