Seal nació como Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel el 19 de febrero de 1963 en Paddington, Londres. De ascendencia nigeriana y brasileña, Seal vivió una infancia marcada por retos y dificultades. A pesar de estas adversidades, encontró en la música un refugio y una forma de expresión que lo acompañaría a lo largo de su vida.
Antes de alcanzar la fama, Seal estudió arquitectura y trabajó en varios empleos ocasionales. Sin embargo, su pasión por la música lo llevó a formar parte de varias bandas locales en los años 80. Uno de los proyectos más notables en los que participó fue un grupo de funk llamado Push, con el que realizó una gira por Japón.
La vida de Seal cambió radicalmente cuando conoció al productor británico Trevor Horn. Juntos trabajaron en el sencillo "Killer", una colaboración con el productor Adamski que rápidamente se convirtió en un éxito. En 1990, "Killer" alcanzó el número uno en las listas del Reino Unido, catapultando a Seal al estrellato.
El éxito de "Killer" llevó a Seal a lanzar su álbum debut homónimo en 1991. El disco contenía éxitos como "Crazy" y "Future Love Paradise", que resonaron en todo el mundo por su mezcla única de soul, pop y rock, así como por la profunda y emotiva voz de Seal.
En 1994, Seal lanzó su segundo álbum, también titulado "Seal". Esta vez, bajo la producción de Trevor Horn,
