3. He’s a smarty pants, and has an associate’s degree in architecture
4. His song, ‘When A Man is Wrong’ is written about his breakup with model Tyra Banks. Obviously models are his type!
5. Seal is quite the adventurer! In the 1980’s he toured Japan, Thailand and Ameica. First he joined British funk band Push, and toured with them in Japan. He joined a blues band in Thailand, then separated from the group and travelled throughout India alone.
