David Alexander De Horne Rowntree was born in Colchester, Essex, at Colchester Maternity Hospital on 8 May 1964, to musical parents – Susan, a viola player, and John, a sound engineer at the BBC. De Horne was his family's original surname, inherited from his father's Huguenot ancestry. "When they settled in Yorkshire, the surname Rowntree was as common as Smith, so they changed ours to blend in," Rowntree explained in a 2023 interview. He has an elder sister named Sara. He attended The Gilberd School in Colchester during the week, and the Landermere Music School, Thorpe-le-Soken, at weekends, where he studied percussion. He played percussion with his father in the Colchester Silver Band, a brass band. After leaving school he studied for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Computer Science at Thames Polytechnic, and started his career as a computer programmer for Colchester Borough Council.
