The singer, who performed at the ceremony alongside Clean Bandit and Izzy Bazu, won the best male act award - his first victory since taking home three awards in 2001.
This past year has seen David enjoy a successful comeback which was capped with his sixth record Following My Intuition hitting number one in the UK album charts.
Lady Leshurr was awarded best female act while other winners included Kano and Drake (best international artist).
Grime artist Skepta came away empty handed despite his album Konnichiwa winning the coveted Mercury Prize in September.
