In the following years, he met producer Adamski, and they came up with the song ‘Killer’ which became one of the biggest hits of 1990. The song helped Seal grow in his career and gain public attention.

Seal has been a renowned artist since the 1990s. His music is immensely popular, not just in the UK but in other parts of the world too. He has seen more success than failure in his career.
