Paddington, London, England (1989 – present)

Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel (born February 19, 1963 in Paddington, London, England) is an English singer and songwriter, professionally known only by his first name, Seal. He won three Grammy Awards for his 1995 single “Kiss from a Rose”.
Seal is of Brazilian and Nigerian descent. A childhood battle with discoid lupus left him with distinctive facial scarring and hair loss.

Music career

Seal (1991)

As the vocalist on the Adamski single “Killer”, Seal became a hot property when the single reached number one in 1990 in the UK. Like many other Adamski tracks, the single was also a hit in night clubs. Seal subsequently signed to ZTT Records and released his debut album (produced by Trevor Horn), titled Seal, in 1991. Two versions of the album are known to be in circulation: the original “premix” version and a second, more common version with an updated mix. This is attributed to the demand for a produced single rushing the final album edit, and as Seal puts it, his and producer Horn’s “inability to let go.” The album was positively received by critics and the singles “Crazy”, “Future Love Paradise”, and his own rendition of “Killer” from the album all performed well on the charts, with “Crazy” becoming a big worldwide hit, reaching the number one in several countries. Excerpts from “Crazy” have been used as commercial background music, and more recently, Alanis Morissette has covered it.
