D'Angelo is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who was at the forefront of the neo-soul movement in the 1990s.
His three studio albums have received universal critical acclaim and have seen him compared to the likes of Prince, Stevie Wonder and Sly Stone.
Despite this reputation, he is known as a reclusive figure who rarely releases new music or sets foot on a stage.
