Timeline
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel (born 19 February 1963), better known by his mononymous stage name Seal, is a British musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer.
He has sold over 20 million records worldwide.
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel was born on 19 February 1963 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, to a Nigerian mother, Adebisi Ogundeji, and an Afro-Brazilian father, Francis Samuel.
He was raised by a foster family in Westminster, London.
He received a two-year diploma in architecture and had various jobs in the London area.
In the 1980s, Seal spent a short time singing in local clubs and bars.
In 1987, he joined Push, a British funk band, and toured with them in Japan.
In Thailand, he joined a blues band for a while before separating from the group and journeying throughout India on his own.
He returned to England, sleeping on the couch of friend Julian Bunster, then a model.
He sometimes asked him, "Do I sing well?", to which he often received the response that he sang better than most current artists.
Then he met the producer Adamski to whom Seal provided lyrics and vocals on Adamski's single "Killer".
"Killer" eventually reached number one in the UK.
As a songwriter, Seal received two Ivor Novello Awards for Best Song Musically and Lyrically from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for "Killer" (1990) and "Crazy" (1991).
Seal subsequently signed to ZTT Records and released his self-titled début album (produced by Trevor Horn) 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, producer Horn's "inability to let go".
Seal was positively received by critics.
The singles "Crazy", "Future Love Paradise", and his own rendition of "Killer" performed well on the charts.
In particular, "Crazy" became an international hit in 1991, reaching number two in the UK Singles Chart and number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
Seal has won multiple awards throughout his career, including three Brit Awards; he won Best British Male in 1992.
He has also won four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.
Seal stole the show at the 1992 Brit Awards held at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, with the first hat-trick of wins in the history of the event.
He won in three categories: Best British Male, Best British Video ("Killer"), and Best British Album (Seal).
In 1992, Seal appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation CD Red Hot + Dance, contributing an exclusive track "Crazy (If I Was Trev Mix)".
The album, featuring George Michael and Madonna among others, raised money and awareness in support of the AIDS epidemic by donating all proceeds to AIDS charities.
Jeff Beck and Seal performed a cover of "Manic Depression" for the 1993 album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
These include hit songs "Crazy" and "Killer", the latter of which went to number one in the UK, and his most celebrated song, "Kiss from a Rose", which was released in 1994.
After Seal regrouped with Trevor Horn, his second album, also self-titled, was released in 1994.
A success, the album featured the singles "Prayer for the Dying" and "Newborn Friend", and later received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
"Prayer for the Dying" became a minor pop hit in the US, peaking at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
A third single, "Kiss from a Rose", performed modestly when released, but was later featured to much wider popularity when it was remixed for the soundtrack to Batman Forever.
"Kiss from a Rose" won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1996, becoming Seal's best-performing single on the US market (it topped the Billboard Hot 100 in late August 1995) and hit number four in the UK.
The album was the product of a turbulent time in his life, including a split and later reconciliation with producer Horn, as well as Seal's parting with ZTT Records and his signing with Warner Bros. Records in 1997.
The record was panned upon its release.
It received gold record certification by the RIAA just two months after its release date.
The album provided three singles, "Human Beings", "Latest Craze", and "Lost My Faith".
In 1998, Seal released Human Being.
In 2001, fans awaited the arrival of a new album, announced as Togetherland.
Seal also contributed vocals to a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" for the 2010 Herbie Hancock album, The Imagine Project along with P!nk, India.Arie, Jeff Beck, Konono Nº1, Oumou Sangaré and others.
He was a coach on The Voice Australia in 2012 and 2013, and returned to Australia to work as a coach in 2017.
