Seal (born Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, London, 1963) is a British singer, songwriter and record producer of Nigerian and Brazilian descent. He broke through in the early 1990s with "Crazy" and "Killer", then reached global superstardom with "Kiss from a Rose" - a US Billboard Hot 100 number one that earned him Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has collected four Grammy Awards, three BRIT Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards, selling over 30 million albums worldwide.
Seal is currently on a 2026 European summer tour titled "Celebrating 30+ years of the classic albums I & II", with confirmed dates in Cologne, Berlin and Hamburg.
In early 2026, Seal's social media activity and studio hints sparked renewed media coverage, with outlets noting a cultural resurgence around his catalog driven partly by TikTok.
Seal appeared as a CGI seal in Mountain Dew's Super Bowl LIX commercial, singing a parody of "Kiss from a Rose" alongside Becky G, directed by Taika Waititi.
Throughout 2024 and into 2025, Seal toured US and European theaters and mid-size arenas, revisiting his first two albums in full rather than playing a standard hits-only set.
Seal digitally re-released "Kiss from a Rose" in 2023, extending the song's streaming presence three decades after its original release.
