He is the recipient of three Brit Awards, four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award, with more than 20 million albums or singles sold.

A critical and commercial success, it spawned the singles "Crazy" and "Killer", which peaked at numbers two and one on the UK singles chart, respectively, while both entered the US Billboard Hot 100. His 1994 single, "Kiss from a Rose", peaked atop the latter chart after its inclusion on the accompanying film soundtracks for The NeverEnding Story III and Batman Forever. As a songwriter, Seal has won two Ivor Novello Awards for "Best Song Musically and Lyrically" by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for "Killer" and "Crazy". Seal stole the show at the 1992 Brit Awards held at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, with the first hat-trick of wins in the history of the event. Seal subsequently signed to ZTT Records and released his self-titled début album (produced by Trevor Horn) in 1991.
