He has sold over 20 million records worldwide, with his most celebrated song being "Kiss from a Rose," which appeared on the soundtrack for the film Batman Forever.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Seal was born in Paddington, London, to a Nigerian mother, Adebisi Ogundeji, and a Brazilian father, Francis Samuel. He was raised in Westminster, London. Seal's facial scars are the result of a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus, which affects the skin and leaves large scars.
Career[edit | edit source]
Seal's music career began in the 1980s, performing in local clubs and bars. He joined the British funk band Push in 1987 and toured with them in Japan. After returning to England, he met producer Adamski and was featured on the single "Killer," which became a hit in 1990.
Breakthrough and success[edit | edit source]
Seal signed a recording contract with ZTT Records and released his debut album, Seal, in 1991. The album included the hit singles "Crazy" and "Future Love Paradise." His second album, also titled Seal, was released in 1994 and featured the song "Kiss from a Rose," which won three Grammy Awards in 1996.
Later work[edit | edit source]
Seal continued to release successful albums, including Human Being (1998), Seal IV (2003), and System (2007). He has also released several compilation albums and live recordings.
