Lighthouse Family is a British musical duo that rose to prominence in the mid-1990s and remained active until the early 2000s. Vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboard player Paul Tucker formed the act in 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK after meeting while studying at university. Their 1995 debut album Ocean Drive sold more than 1.6 million copies in the UK alone and established them as a popular easy listening duo throughout Europe.
Although none of their singles reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, they did reach number one on the Australian Singles Chart with the song "High".
Lighthouse Family scaled down in early 2003 because of what they called a "heavy promotional schedule" following the release of Whatever Gets You Through the Day in 2002. This led to both men pursuing individual projects. Baiyewu is now a solo artist,while Tucker joined a rock band, The Orange Lights.
According to their management, the band has not split up despite being inactive: "there is always the possibility of another Lighthouse Family album one day.
