Craig David interview from his upcoming tour to setting goals

‘7 days’ hitmaker Craig David plans his day to achieve his daily goals.

Explaining his morning routine, he shared: “My phone wakes me up, then I set my intentions for the day. I think about the things I’m grateful for – my friends and family, and being healthy. I put on my dressing gown – I was given it by a hotel and love the texture – and drink a 1.5 litre bottle of water. I’ll have a hot shower for five minutes and then 30 seconds of freezing cold. I use Malin + Goetz peppermint shampoo, which I first tried at the Mondrian in LA. I’ll go for matcha green tea and a homemade ginger and carrot juice, then plain oats with a couple of drops of stevia – a natural leaf from the Amazon rainforest. I’ve tried to become more mindful when eating, so I avoid reaching straight for my phone.”

The ‘When You Know What Love Is’ hitmaker has revealed he starts off every day laying out his goals and what he is “grateful” for.

He added: “I live alone, but have a lovely housekeeper who is an incredible chef, so I don’t even need to ask what we’re having for lunch. She recently did a shepherd’s pie with sweet potato. Then, I’ll go on to my laptop and respond to tweets and Instagram messages.”

The ‘Magic’ star has a studio in his home for late night inspiration.

He added: “Then I watch a film such as the sci-fi Passengers in my open-plan living room, with Lavolio’s Nutty Forest for snacks.

“If I feel super-inspired off the back of the film, I go into the studio and write some music. I spend the rest of the night recording in my studio and somehow it ends up being 1am. I do 45 minutes of silent meditation, then have a shower and head straight to bed.”

CRAIG DAVID is about to embark on a new UK arena tour ‘Hold That Thought’ starting off in Cardiff on the 13th April 2020 and ending at London’s The O2, celebrating the 20th anniversary.

Craig told MARKMEETS that with such a huge catalogue of music behind him, deciding on setlists is “the hardest thing to put together. The way I look at it is; what were the singles released? Let’s try and get some of those songs in the mix.”
