Artist Biography
The Lighthouse Family were a British duo from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. They consisted of vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboard player Paul Tucker, (born on 12 August 1968, in Crystal Palace, London) and formed in 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England after meeting at college. Their 1995 debut album Ocean Drive sold more than 1.6 million copies in the UK alone and established them as a popular easy listening duo throughout Europe.
The Lighthouse Family split up in early 2003 due to "a heavy promotional schedule and the incredible international success of 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day'."
This in turn led to both Paul and Tunde in working different projects. Tunde has embarked on a solo career, and has already released an album called Tunde in late 2004.
