Whycliffe
Donovan Whycliffe Bromwell,[1] known mononymously as Whycliffe, was a British R&B singer from Nottingham.
Whycliffe was born into a Pentecostal family and sang in the choir as a child.[2] After sending a demo tape to local label Submission Records, he attracted label attention, eventually signing with MCA Records.[2] He released two albums for MCA and had three charting singles in the UK - "Lovespeakup" (1990) at #97, "Heaven" (1993) at #56, and "One More Time" (1994) at #72.[3] He worked with the producers Tim Simenon, CJ Mackintosh, and Chris Porter.[2] He dated Dannii Minogue in 1994.[1] After being dropped from MCA, Whycliffe left the public eye, and in 2005, a Nottingham publication reported that he "sings for a quid in the city centre and lives in a sheltered housing complex."[1]
Whycliffe's master tapes were among those reported lost or damaged in the 2008 Universal fire.[4]
