Early Life Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel is popularly known for his name Seal. He was born on February 19th, 1963. Her mother, Adebisi Ogundeji is a Nigerian native. His father, Francis Samuel is a Brazilian native. Seal was not raised by his parents as he was raised by foster parents residing in Westminster, London. Seal studied architecture before later concentrating on his music career. After moving from job to job, Seal finally decided to concentrate on music as his professional career. At the beginning of his career, he sang in local bars during the 80s. In 1987, he partnered with the band Push and made tours with them in Japan. Later on, while in Thailand, he joined another blues band and spent a short period performing with them. He also spent a few years touring India on his own. With time, Seal was back to England and shared a room with one of his modeling friends, Julian Bunster. Rise To Stardom During the 90s, Seal crossed paths with Adamski, a renowned producer. He was given the lyrics to “ Killer” to sing, and this led to his recognition. The hit song performed well on the UK charts earning Seal the success that he had strongly craved for. With time, the hit single went to be ranked as the best in the UK. Shortly after this success, Seal signed a singing contract with ZIT Records. This allowed him to work with Trever Horn, a producer who would work on other four albums Seal released. An album named Seal released in 1991 was well received out there.
