Who is his father Seal?
Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, better known by his stage name Seal, was born in Paddington, London, England, on 19 February 1963, thus making his zodiac sign Aquarius – he holds British nationality. He has been active in the music industry since 1987, while his most popular song is probably “Kiss from a Rose”, released back in 1994.
He was born to his African-Brazilian father Francis Samuel, and the Nigerian woman Adebisi Ogundeji, however, Seal grew up in a foster family in Westminster, London; he had four foster siblings, but returned to live with his mother when he was four years old. Seal matriculated from a local high school in 1981, and then enrolled at a college from which he graduated with an Associate’s degree in architecture in 1985.
He launched his career as a musician upon matriculating, and started by singing in bars around London. He joined his first band in 1987, called Push, and with them travelled to Asia; Seal soon found himself alone and performing in India, then upon returning to England, he was introduced to the music producer Adam Paul ‘Adamski’ Tinley, and sang the lyrics of his song “Killer”. Following the single’s success, Seal was signed to ZTT Records, and in 1991, his self-titled debut album was released. It spawned a couple of hit songs, including “Crazy” which peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and #2 on the UK Singles Chart. At the 1992 Brit Awards, he won in three categories: Best British Album, Best British Video, and Best British Male Singer.
In 1994, he released his second album “Seal II”, and its most popular singles were “Kiss from a Rose”, “Newborn Friend” and “Prayer for Dying”. Seal’s third album “Human Being” followed in 1998, also spawning several hits, including “Lost My Faith” and “Latest Craze”.
In 2001, Seal was to release his fourth album “Togetherland”, which ended up being cancelled for unknown reasons, and his fourth album was thus “Seal IV”, released in 2003. Some of his following works were his 2005 concert album “One Night to Remember”, his album “System” which was released on 12 November 2007, and his 2008 album “Soul”.

Heidi was raised alongside her brother Michael in Bergisch Gladbach, by their mother Erna Klum (nee Berger) who worked as a hairdresser, and their father Gunther who was an executive of a cosmetics company. It wasn’t her plan to become a model, however, her friend convinced her to enter a modelling contest, which Heidi won and subsequently signed a $300,000-worth contract with Metropolitan Models New York; she then moved to New York, and left her dream of becoming a fashion designer behind her.
She soon appeared on the cover page of numerous magazines, including “Harper’s Bazaar”, “InStyle” and “Elle”, while she gained recognition when she started appearing in many editorials of the magazine “Vogue”, in countries such as Portugal, Spain and France.

After Heidi became popular and wealthy, she chose to turn to her dream – fashion design – and her first clothing line was for men, and could’ve been read about in the German catalog ‘Otto’. She has since designed jewelry for Mouwad, shoes for Birkenstock, and swimsuits which were featured in the popular magazine “Sports Illustrated”.
