Whycliffe


Donovan Whycliffe Bromwell, 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. After sending a demo tape to local label Submission Records, he attracted label attention, eventually signing with MCA Records. He released two albums for MCA and had three charting singles in the UK - "Lovespeakup" at #97, "Heaven" at #56, and "One More Time" at #72. He worked with the producers Tim Simenon, CJ Mackintosh, and Chris Porter. He dated Dannii Minogue in 1994. 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."
Whycliffe's master tapes were among those reported lost or damaged in the 2008 Universal fire.
