Background notes
Archive material and source history
Eliot Sumner was born in London in 1979, the child of musician Sting. They released their debut album 'Information' in 2004, which included the song of the same name. That record drew attention for its introspective lyrics and raw approach.
Sumner has put out several albums since then, including 'Shake the Hand that Shook the World' in 2006, 'The Constant' in 2010, and 'Nosferatu' in 2019. Their work has touched on indie rock and electronica, with songs like 'After Dark' and 'Firewood' appearing in their catalog.
They have collaborated with other artists, including David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and M.I.A. Sumner identifies as non-binary and has spoken about facing discrimination in the music industry, once accusing their label of neglect related to their gender identity.
Their music often deals with themes of identity and social justice, and they have been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. The songs 'In Real Life' and 'Come Friday' are part of their body of work.
