Craig David, the British R&B singer, says he has been celibate for two years. In a recent interview with TMZ, David revealed that though it seemed unbelievable, staying off sex increased his creativity.
“I know to the date, It has been two years now for me without sex. But funnily, much as I was like Wow!’ to myself for the moment, my creativity has been on a 100, on a max, for those two years,” he said.
The singer opened up about his celibacy journey last year in the Louis Theroux Podcast. He said he wanted to focus on self-discovery and a deeper kind of love connection.
“Sometimes you gotta pull it back, man. I am 42 years old now – things are different. If we cannot deep dive, if I cannot have a conversation and at the same time laugh like crazy with you, and see the beauty from within you, then we are just gonna be doing the same game that I have been playing since day one. I do not want that anymore,”
He had said.
David’s debut album Born to Do It’ was released in 2000, after which he put out seven more albums and worked with a variety of artistes including Sting, Tinchy Stryder, Big Narstie, Kano, and Jay Sean. He has received several awards and recognitions for his talent.
