Seal

Biography

Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel (born 19 February 1963), known professionally as Seal, is a British singer of Nigerian and Afro-Brazilian heritage. He has sold over 20 million records worldwide. 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. He is renowned for his distinctive soulful singing voice. He 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. As a songwriter, he 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). He was a coach on The Voice Australia in 2012 and 2013, and returned to Australia to work as a coach in 2017. He was married to supermodel Heidi Klum from 2005 until their divorce in 2014; they have 3 children together and he adopted her daughter from a previous relationship. The prominent scarring on Seal's face is the result of a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus, which affects the skin and leaves large scars.
