Sananda Maitreya emerged in 1987 amid a storm of publicity. During the early '80s, he was a soldier for the U.S. Army. In 1987 he moved to London to sign a record contract with CBS. His first single, ‘If You Let Me Stay’ rocketed into the U.K. Top Ten upon its release. His album, “Introducing the Hardline”, was an international success. In 1988 Wishing Well hit number one in the U.S.A. Sign Your Name followed it into the Top Five and the album sold 14 million copies worldwide. His mix of soul, rock, pop, and R&B recalled Prince, yet his sensibility was grittier and earthier. In 1989 “Neither Fish nor Flesh”, attacked many self-consciously important themes, including homophobia and environmental destruction. The music added a variety of new textures, from Indian drones to straight-ahead '50s R&B. When “Symphony or Damn” was released in 1993, it received favorable reviews. “Vibrator” (1996) is a psychedelic album followed by a world tour in America, Japan & Europe. Since 1995, at the age of 33, he adopted the name Sananda Maitreya, which is his artistic name since 2001. In the new Millennium lots of new music has been released by TreeHouse Publishing. The Post Millennium Rock albums: “WildCard!” (2003), “Angels & Vampires” (2007), “Nigor Mortis” (2009) , “The Sphinx” (2011), “Return To Zooathalon” (2013), “The Rise Of The Zugebrian Time Lords” (2015), “Prometheus & Pandora” (2017), “Pandora’s PlayHouse” (2021) + 2 live albums to celebrate his 35 years in music!
