Sting is a singer, songwriter and actor and was born
Gordon Matthew Sumner, in London, England. He is former vocalist and lyricist
of The Police, his first film role came in Quadrophenia (1978), and his
first hit song was "Spread A Little Happiness' (1982), taken from
the soundtrack of the television film Brimstone and Treacle, in which
he also starred. His debut solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985),
topped both the UK and US music charts. He has been heavily involved with
campaigns benefiting the environment and saving the rain forests, and
with Amnesty International; in 1989 Sting was a keynote speaker at the
2nd annual Human Rights Awards ceremony.
Later albums include Soul Cages (1991), which reached No. 1 on the UK
music charts, and Mercury Falling (1996). Feature films include Dune (1984),
Stormy Monday (1988), The Grotesque (1995), and a cameo in Lock, Stock,
and Two Smoking Barrels (1999).
Sting's career shows no sign of slowing down: his 1999 album and tour,
Brand New Day, met with widespread critical and popular acclaim. At the
Grammy Awards in February 2000, "Brand New Day" won Best Pop
Album, while Sting collected the award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
for the hit single, also entitled "Brand New Day." He won again
in the same category the following year, for "She Walks This Earth
(Soberana Rosa)," a song he recorded for a tribute album to the Brazilian
composer Ivan Lins, A Love Affair: The Music of Ivan Lins.
In 2003, The Police was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
