Not a fan, but often wondered what he was getting up to these days, writing/producing for other people perhaps?
Is he still living in that Miami hotel?

So clearly, he's been enjoying life.
probably
He still lives in Miami, but travels A LOT. Has his own DJ show in the UK on Capital Xtra. Has an album coming out this year, but there's no rush to release it. He's minted because he put most his music money into investments.
Craig david came out at a time when Garage and R&B music was dominating. Especially Garage. But Garage no longer around and R&b no longer as popular as it once was, i think this harmed him. Plus the fact his material was just damn right awful. Just a brilliant example of an artist who came in the charts at the right time, but a time that didn't stand too long.

Still does a lot of shows overseas both as an artist and for his Dj'ing "TS5" and also has his own music publishing company.
Toured Europe last year and debuted a new song "Less Is More" which is pretty solid, check out live versions on YouTube.
In terms of new album he is mainly working with Marshall (formerly Ignorants) but also working with the likes of Harvey Mason Jnr/Underdogs so he's going back to R&B and making the music he wants to make.
It's actually really refreshing to hear of a famous person being good with their money. Kudos to him.

It's different with pop groups, since the singers in those tend to get a lot less money for numerous reasons.
A friends ex husband had a music studio around about at that time. He used to get lots of young Craig David lookalikes wanting records done. So yes Craig David was around the right place at the right time.
