Sade Adu began her career as a backup singer for the band Pride; then split from the band with guitarist Stuart Matthewman in 1983 to form her own band, called Sade. They recorded their first album in just six weeks and released it to great success in July 1984.
The group followed up with three more successful albums over the next eight years. The band then took an eight-year hiatus before releasing a comeback album and going on tour throughout 2000 and 2001.
Sade was awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire(OBE) in 2002. In 2010, the group released Soldier of Love and it got the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
In 2018, she did the soundtrack Flower of the Universe for Disney’s 2018 film A Wrinkle in Time.
