Seal
(19 Feb 1963) Seal is a British (born in London to a Nigerian father and a Brazilian mother) soul artist (singer and songwriter) who "... by the mid-'90s he had created a distinctive fusion of soul, folk, pop, dance, and rock that brought him success on both sides of the Atlantic." 1 Seal graduated university with a degree in architecture but eventually joined a funk band and toured Asia, played with a blues band in Thailand then traveled alone in India before returning to London where he met Adamski, a house and techno produce, with whom he released a number one hit "Killer" in 1990. Killer set them both on the path to stardom. His first recording as a signed artist was also a success; the single "Crazy" hit #15 and #7 in the UK and US, respectively, while the album itself ("Seal") sold in the millions worldwide. With the release of "Kiss from a Rose" on his next album ("Kiss II"), Seal hit the #1 spot on the US pop charts; the song spent 45 weeks on the charts. The album became multi-platinum and two years after its release it sold 4 million copies in the US alone. |
