About the Expert

Who Is Sting?

Gordon Matthew Sumner, known worldwide as Sting, is one of the most influential and versatile musicians of our time. He was the lead vocalist and bassist of the iconic British band *The Police*, which won six Grammy Awards and two Brit Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. After the band’s separation, Sting embarked on a successful solo career, earning 11 Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and four Oscar nominations, among other honors. Beyond his impact in music, Sting is a dedicated activist and the founder of the *Rainforest Fund*, an organization focused on protecting rainforests and the rights of indigenous peoples.

What is his Background?

Born in Newcastle, England, Sting moved to London in 1977, where he formed *The Police*, a band that defined an era in rock music. As a solo artist, Sting has sold over 100 million records and his innovative style has allowed him to explore genres ranging from jazz and reggae to classical music. Over his career, Sting has collaborated with artists such as Herbie Hancock, Shaggy, and Eric Clapton, and iconic songs like *Every Breath You Take* and *Englishman in New York* have established him as a music legend. Sting has also ventured into acting and theatre, presenting his musical *The Last Ship* on Broadway in 2014. He has been honored with the Polar Music Prize and, in 2022, was named a Fellow of the Ivors Academy for his contributions to songwriting.
