Career
In the mid-Eighties Seal got his first taste of the music life by touring Japan with London funk group Push, as well as enjoying a short-lived stint with a Thai blues band. After parting ways with the group he spent time journeying through India by himself.

His first taste of fame came a few years later in 1990 with the hit single Killer, a collaboration with house and techno producer Adamski. The following year, he released his first solo album, Seal, which sold three million copies worldwide and spawned the classic song Crazy.

Tall he is 6ft 4 in tall and handsome, Seal had a dramatic image to match his pop-funk-dance sound. And his striking facial scars, from a childhood struggle with the auto-immune disease lupus, only helped to make him more memorable in the image-dominated world of pop.

In 1994, the singer released his follow-up album, Seal II, which featured the Top 40 hit Prayer For The Dying. The disc had been on shelves for more than a year, however, when A Kiss From A Rose reached number one after being included on the Batman Forever soundtrack. The single subsequently spent 45 weeks on the US charts. The album sold four million copies in the US alone and earned him three Grammys.
