In this episode of Where Are They Now? we delve into the life and career of 80's star Terence Trent D'Arby or as he is known today as Sananda Maitreya as we journey from his strict upbringing as a child in the church under the thumb of his step father who restricted what music he was aloud to listen to. We also discuss Terence's experience with bullying and racial abuse during school. We then detail his experience at university and as a aspiring pro boxer before taking up a role in the US Army where he would eventually desert his post to follow his dream of becoming a musician, running with a 9 man band in Germany called "The Touch".  As the talented vocalist eventually kickstarted his career as a solo act scoring 2 major hits including "Sign Your Name" and "Wishing Well" and taking home a Grammy award for his debut album titled "Introducing the Hardline". Only for his out of control ego and his failing 2nd studio album to send him on a path of self destruction as Terence would go through a transformational spiritual awakening to discover his true higher self, where he would then be known as Sananda Maitreya. As we learn what exactly the 62 year old is up to today.
