Lighthouse Family were a British Northern soul duo from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. They consisted of UK-born Nigerian vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and London keyboard player Paul Tucker and formed in 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England after meeting at college. 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.

The Lighthouse Family splitted up in early 2003 "due to a heavy promotional schedule and the incredible international success of 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day'".

This in turn led to both Paul and Tunde in working different projects. Tunde has embarked on a solo career, and has already released an album called "Tunde" in late 2004.
