A short time later, he met Seal and ended up co-writing four songs on Seal’s debut album Crazy: “The Beginning”, “Wild” and “Violet”, plus the B-side, “Sparkle”. Sigsworth then went on to work with Icelandic star Bijork where he co-wrote, recorded and played with her on Dancer In The Dark and Vespertine.
