Lighthouse Family is a British musical duo composed of vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker. The band formed in 1993 after the two met while working at the same bar in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. They swiftly gained recognition for their melodic, soulful pop that resonated with audiences seeking soothing, uplifting music. Their sound, often described as a blend of R&B and pop, is characterized by its smooth vocals and emotive lyrics.

The group's debut album "Ocean Drive," released in 1995, propelled them to fame with hit singles like "Lifted," "Ocean Drive," and "Goodbye Heartbreak." This success was followed by their 1997 album "Postcards From Heaven," which featured chart-topping singles such as "Raincloud" and "High." After a period of hiatus, Lighthouse Family returned to the music scene, and 2019 saw the release of their fourth studio album, "Blue Sky In Your Head," which marked a return to the duo's classic sound and included new material alongside reimagined versions of their biggest hits. The release of tracks like "My Salvation" and the radio edit of "Live Again" further cemented their status as a band that has endured and evolved, charming both longstanding fans and new listeners with their poignant and heartfelt music.
