D'Arby's debut solo album, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby, released in July 1987, is his best-known commercial work.[8] The album produced hits including "If You Let Me Stay", "Sign Your Name", "Dance Little Sister", and the number one hit "Wishing Well".[10]
D'Arby expressed a high opinion of his debut album, claiming that it was the most important album since the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper.[1] After the comments leaked to US media outlets, he stated that most of what he said was exaggerated, but that it is sometimes necessary to "hit people over the head" to get their attention.[11] The album earned him a Grammy Award in the category Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male (1989)[12] and a BRIT Award for International Breakthrough Act, and he also received Grammy and Soul Train nominations for Best New Artist.[13]
D'Arby's follow-up album was Neither Fish Nor Flesh (1989),[8] which was not as successful as his debut had been.[12] It took four more years and a move to Los Angeles until his next album, Symphony or Damn (1993), was released. The record contained the singles "Delicate" and "She Kissed Me". It peaked at No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart.[8] In 1995, D'Arby released Vibrator, which was followed by a world tour.[8]
D'Arby's music has been included on several movie and television soundtracks. He sang the theme song of 1991's Frankie and Johnny. "Right Thing, Wrong Way" featured prominently in the end credits of Beverly Hills Cop III. "What Shall I Do?" was featured in an episode of the UPN television series Girlfriends. He sang the ending song, "Letting Go", in the 1996 film The Fan. D'Arby's songs were also used in Prêt-à-Porter and the 1995 miniseries The Promised Land.[citation needed]
In 1999, D'Arby collaborated with INXS to replace his friend, the late vocalist Michael Hutchence, so the band could play at the official opening of Stadium Australia (a major venue for the Sydney Olympics).
達比（D'Arby）的首張個人專輯，根據特倫斯·特倫特·達比（Terence Trent D'Arby）的介紹，於1987年7月發行，是他最著名的商業作品。專輯發行了熱門歌曲，包括“ If You Let Me Stay”，“ Sign Your Name”，“ Dance Little Sister”和排名第一的熱門歌曲“ Wishing Well”。
D'Arby對自己的首張專輯表示了很高的評價，聲稱這是自甲殼蟲樂隊以來的最重要專輯。 評論發表給美國媒體後，他說他所說的大部分話都是誇張的，但有時有必要“打人”以引起他們的注意這張專輯為他贏得了最佳R＆B聲樂表演獎，男性（1989）並獲得了BRIT國際突破法獎，並且他還獲得了格萊美和靈魂火車提名的最佳新人獎。
D'Arby的後續專輯是《 Nish Fish Nor Flesh（1989）》，不如他的處女作那麼成功。再過四年，搬到洛杉磯，直到他的下一張專輯《 Symphony or Damn（1993）》發行。 唱片包含單曲“ Delicate”和“ She Kissed Me”。 它在英國專輯排行榜上排名第四1995年，D'Arby發布了Vibrator，隨後進行了世界巡迴演出
D'Arby的音樂被收錄在幾部電影和電視原聲帶中。 他演唱了1991年的Frankie和Johnny的主題曲。 在貝弗利山莊警察III的結尾片中，“正確的東西，錯誤的道路”成為了主要焦點。 “我該怎麼辦？” 曾在UPN電視連續劇《女友》中飾演。 他在1996年的電影《粉絲》中演唱了結局歌曲“ Letting Go”。 D'Arby的歌曲還用於Prêt-à-Porter和1995年的迷你劇《承諾的土地》中。
1999年，D'Arby與INXS合作取代了他的朋友，已故的歌手邁克爾·哈欽斯（Michael Hutchence），因此樂隊可以在澳大利亞體育館（悉尼奧運會的主要場館）的正式開幕演出。
D'Arby legally changed his name to Sananda Maitreya on October 4, 2001, explaining, "Terence Trent D'Arby was dead... he watched his suffering as he died a noble death. After intense pain I meditated for a new spirit, a new will, a new identity".[15] Maitreya has said that his name change resulted from a series of dreams he had in 1995. Though the name does not have any religious significance, Maitreya explained that he understood it to mean "rebirth" in Sanskrit.[16] However, the name does not mean "rebirth" in Sanskrit; sānanda means "possessed of happiness",[17] while maitreya means "friendly, kind, loving, benevolent".[18]
Maitreya has released the albums Wildcard (2001), Angels & Vampires - Volume I (2005), Angels & Vampires - Volume II (2006), Nigor Mortis: A Critical Mass (2009), The Sphinx (2011), Return to Zooathalon (2013), The Rise of the Zugebrian Time Lords (2015),[citation needed] and Prometheus & Pandora (2017). He has also issued four live albums.[19] In 2007, three of his songs were played in Judd Apatow's movie Knocked Up.[citation needed]
D'Arby於2001年10月4日合法將其名字更改為Sananda Maitreya，並解釋說：“ Terence Trent D'Arby死了……他看著自己的痛苦死於高尚的死亡。在劇烈的痛苦之後，我沉思冥想， 新的意志，新的身份”。[15] 彌勒說，他的名字更改是由於他在1995年的一系列夢想而產生的。儘管這個名字沒有任何宗教意義，但彌勒解釋說，他理解這在梵語中意為“重生”。[16] 但是，該名稱在梵語中並不意味著“重生”； sānanda的意思是“擁有幸福”，[17]而maitreya的意思是“友善，友善，愛心，仁慈”。[18]
彌勒（Maitreya）發行了專輯Wildcard（2001），Angels＆Vampires-Volume I（2005），Angels＆Vampires-Volume II（2006），Nigor Mortis：A Critical Mass（2009），The Sphinx（2011），Return to Zooathalon（ 2013年），《祖格利安時間領主的崛起》（2015年），[需要引用]和普羅米修斯與潘多拉（2017年）。 他還發行了四張現場專輯。[19] 2007年，他的三首歌曲在賈德·阿帕圖（Judd Apatow）的電影《敲門》中被播放。
