Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Sting (inoa piha ʻo Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner) i ʻOkakopa 2, 1951 ma Walsend (Northumberland), ʻEnelani.
ʻO ka mea mele Pelekania a me ka mea haku mele, i ʻike nui ʻia ʻo ia ke alakaʻi o ka hui ʻo Police. Ua holomua ʻo ia ma kāna ʻoihana hoʻokahi ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila. ʻO kāna ʻano mele he hui pū me ka pop, jazz, world music a me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ke ola mua o Sting a me ka pūʻali Makai
Ua ulu ʻo Gordon Sumner i kahi ʻohana Katolika a hele i kahi kula grammar Catholic. He aloha mele ʻo ia mai kona wā liʻiliʻi. Ua makemake nui ʻo ia i ka hui Beatles, a me nā mea hoʻokani jazz ʻo Thelonious Monk lāua ʻo John Coltrane.

Ka manawa no nā album Sting hou
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Sting i ʻehā album i ka makahiki 1990. ʻO ka Soul Cages (1991) he album kaumaha a neʻe. Hōʻike ia i ka nalowale ʻana o ka makua kāne o ka mea hoʻokani. ʻAʻole ia e like me kāna mau mele mele ʻelua ma mua.
Ua hele ka album Ten Summoner's Tales (1993) i platinum. Ua kūʻai ʻia aku ma mua o 3 miliona mau kope. Ua lanakila ʻo Sting i ka makana Grammy o kēia makahiki no ka Best Male Pop Vocal Performance me If I Ever Lose My Faith in You.

ʻO ka hana hope a me kāna ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mele Sting
I ke kenekulia 2003, ua hoʻomau ʻo Sting i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mele he nui a me ka huakaʻi mau. Ma XNUMX, loaʻa iā ia kahi makana Grammy no kāna duet me Mary J. Blige i kēlā me kēia manawa aʻu e ʻōlelo ai i kou inoa. Ua hoʻopuka pū ka mea pena i kāna autobiography "Broken Music".
Ma 2008, hoʻomaka ʻo Sting e hui pū me Summers a me Copeland. He huakaʻi holomua loa ka hopena no ka hui hou ʻana o ka hui Makai.

I ke kauwela o 2014, ua hana ʻo The Last Ship i kāna hoʻomaka ma waho o Broadway ma Chicago no ka hoʻomaikaʻi koʻikoʻi. Ua kākau ʻia e Sting a hoʻoikaika ʻia e kona wā kamaliʻi ma ke kūlanakauhale kūkulu moku ʻo Wallsend,
Ua hana ka mea pena kiʻi i kāna hoʻomaka ma Broadway i ka hāʻule like. Ua hui pū ʻo Sting i ka mea hoʻokūkū ma ke poʻo inoa.
ʻO ka album o ka inoa hoʻokahi ka mele mele mua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e Sting ma kahi o 10 mau makahiki. Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i kona aʻa pōhaku, a ʻelua makahiki ma hope mai ua hui pū ʻo ia me ka hōkū reggae ʻo Shaggy.
