Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, known as "Sting", is a British musician born October 2, 1951 in Newcastle upon Tyne. At the age of 9 he already wrote his own songs. In 1966 he received a homemade bass guitar. In 1971 he had his first group "Last Exit". Then he also got his name "Sting". He would become known as the lead vocalist and bassist for "The Police". But even before the end of the group he would release solo work. With this work he managed to merge influences of jazz, classical music and world music in his own songs.
