ABOUT STING
Composer, singer-songwriter, actor,
author, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to
London in 1977 to form The Police
with Stewart Copeland and
Andy Summers. The band released five
studio albums, earned six GRAMMY Awards® and two Brits, and was
inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
As one of the world's most distinctive solo artists, Sting has
received an additional 11 GRAMMY Awards®, two Brits, a Golden
Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations, a TONY nomination,
Billboard Magazine's Century Award, and MusiCares 2004
Person of the Year. In 2003, he was made a Commander of the
Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen
Elizabeth II for his myriad of contributions to music. Also
a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, he has received the
Kennedy Center Honors, The American Music Award of Merit and The
Polar Music Prize. Sting has been awarded Honorary Doctorates of
Music by the University of Northumbria (1992), Berklee College of Music (1994), University of
Newcastle upon Tyne (2006) and
Brown University at its
250th Commencement ceremony (2018).
Throughout his illustrious career, Sting has sold 100 million
albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo
artist.
Following his critically acclaimed album, 57th
& 9th, his first rock/pop collection in over a
decade, Sting and reggae icon, Shaggy, both managed by the
Cherrytree Music Company, released a collaborative,
island-influenced album, entitled 44/876, drawing from the
many surprising connections at the heart of their music. With its
title referencing their home country codes, 44/876 first and
foremost honors the duo's mutual love for Jamaica: Shaggy's homeland, and the place
where Sting penned such classics as The Police's "Every Breath You
Take." Their release spent over 20 weeks atop Billboard's Reggae
Album chart in the US, earned Gold certifications in Poland and France and received the GRAMMY Award® for Best
Reggae Album.
In 2019, Sting was honoured at the BMI Pop Awards for his
enduring hit single "Every Breath You Take," which has become the
Most Performed Song, with 15 million radio plays, from BMI's
catalog of over 14 million musical works. The song was also added
to Spotify's 'Billions Club,' having amassed over 1 billion streams
on the platform.
Also in 2019, an album entitled My Songs, featuring
contemporary interpretations of his most celebrated hits, was
released and followed by a world tour of the same name, which
recently resumed. Sting's 'My Songs' World Tour is a dynamic and
exuberant show featuring his most beloved songs spanning the
17-time GRAMMY Award® winner's prolific career with The Police
and as a solo artist. Full tour itinerary can be found at:
www.sting.com/tour.
Always known as a musical explorer, pioneering genre-bending
sounds and collaborations, Sting's next release Duets,
compiles some of his most celebrated collaborations, including
those with Mary J. Blige,
Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Annie
Lennox, Charles Aznavour,
Mylène Farmer, Shaggy, Melody Gardot, Gashi and
more.
Sting's latest album, The Bridge, showcases his
prolific and diverse songwriting prowess. Representing various
stages and styles from throughout his unrivaled career
and drawing inspiration from genres including rock n' roll, jazz,
classical music and folk, the eclectic album features Sting's
quintessential sound on pop-rock tracks such as the
album's opening rock salvo "Rushing Water" and new
indie-pop sounding "If It's Love."
Most recently, Sting produced Shaggy's latest album,
Com Fly Wid Mi which finds
the dancehall/reggae icon performing the Sinatra songbook in a
reggae style. To celebrate the albums' release, Sting hosted a
party at the legendary Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC where Shaggy
performed the album in full.
Sting has appeared in more than 15 films, executive produced the
critically acclaimed A Guide to Recognizing Your
Saints, and in 1989 starred in The Threepenny
Opera on Broadway. His most recent theatre project
is the Tony®-nominated musical The Last
Ship, inspired by his memories of the shipbuilding
community of Wallsend in the northeast of England where he was born and raised. The
show, with music and lyrics by Sting, ran on Broadway in
2014/2015 and completed a UK regional theatre tour which ran
from March-July 2018. Thereafter,
Sting starred as shipyard foreman Jackie
White in the Toronto-based
production of The Last Ship at the Princess of
Wales Theatre. In 2020, he reprised the role for productions in Los
Angeles at the Ahmanson Theatre and San Francisco at the Golden Gate
Theatre.
Sting's support for human rights organizations such as the
Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International, and Live Aid mirrors his
art in its universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund
in 1989 to protect both the world's rainforests and the indigenous
people living there. Together they have held 19 benefit
concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet's endangered
resources. Since its inception, the Rainforest Fund has expanded to
a network of interconnected organizations working in more than 20
countries over three continents.
