David Carreira

Growing up after his family moved back to Portugal, he joined the junior formative team of Frossos football club in 2001, but suffering a knee injury, he was forced to quit a possible pro sports career.

Instead of sports, Carreira concentrated more on an artistic career in music and fashion, particularly since he comes from a very artistic family. By this time, his father Tony Carreira was a famous singer who was well known by the Portuguese public and his mother Fernanda Antunes was his father's manager. His sister Sara Antunes was already a public celebrity and his older brother Mickael Carreira was having a singing career since 2007.

David Carreira's first venture was as a model parading events such for "ModaLisboa" and "Portugal Fashion". He was featured in a number of advertising campaigns, notably for Cacharel.

David Carreira participou em 2010 na oitava temporada dos Morangos com Açúcar da TVI no papel de "Lourenço Seixas".

In 2012, he also appeared in the telenovela series Louco Amor also on TVI in the role of Chico, a 21-year-old who dates and hooks up with older women.

In October 2011, he released his debut album N.1 produced by the French production duo Tefa et Blasta which presented him as a young pop act appealing to massive audiences with a mix of pop, dance, hip hop and R&B. The album was a huge success staying 43 consecutive weeks in the Portuguese Albums Chart and peaking at number 1. The album was certified double platinum. The single "Esta noite" from the album became a major hit. David Carreira went on a big tour culminating in a concert at the Coliseu dos Recreios on 16 February 2013.

On 11 November 2013, he released his follow-up album A força está em nós with the collaborations from Snoop Dogg, Bxsoss AC, Anselmo Ralph, Diana Chaves and the French singer Léa Castel. The albon the Portuguese Album Charts.

Simultaneously with his Portuguese career, Carreira developed an international career starting with the French-language market through a deal with Warner France. His debut single in France was "Obrigado la famille", a duo with French rapper Dry. The single was produced by Wati B who has produced major French hip hop acts like Sexion d'Assaut, Maître Gims and The Shin Sekaï.

The single was an initial release from the forthcoming French-language album in 2014 on Warner Music France. The album featured a number of collaborations including rapper Dry, and singers Tal and Tunisiano. A second single called "Boom" was released, and was promoted by David Carreira performing it live on the French talk and variety program Vivement Dimanche hosted by Michel Drucker and during a special sequence where the guest was David's father Tony Carreira.
