* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His first album has more of a SynthPop sound compared to his later albums, which are straight {{Pop}}. This is probably unsurprising, given [[Music/TrevorHorn Trevor Horn's]] involvement. This also extend's to Seal's appearance, as he had dreadlocks [[ImportantHaircut before he started shaving his head]].

Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel (born 19 February 1963), better known as [[StageNames Seal]], is a British pop and R&B singer who is best-known (at least in the United States) for his hits "Crazy" and "[[Film/TheNeverendingStoryIIIEscapeFromFantasia Kiss from]] [[Film/BatmanForever a Rose]]". He was born on February 19, 1963 in London to an Afro-Brazilian father and Nigerian mother. Seal has won numerous music awards throughout his career, including four Grammy Awards and an [[UsefulNotes/MTVVideoMusicAward MTV Video Music Award]].

One of the other things Seal is known for besides his music are the rather impressive scars on his face. Over the years, rumors about those scars have ranged from them being African tribal scars to the result of a gunshot wound to being the result of a failed suicide attempt. The truth is actually pretty mundane: they are actually the result of a childhood illness known as discoid lupus erythematosus, a condition that affects the skin of the head and neck.

In addition to recording albums and touring, Seal was one of the four coaches on ''Series/TheVoice Australia'' during Seasons One and Two, and won both of those seasons (he guided both the 2012 champion, Karise Eden, and the 2013 champion, Harrison Craig, to victory).
