Hub · 1951
Sting
Wallsend, England · Vocals · Bass · Songwriting
The Police bassist/vocalist; later solo pop/jazz-leaning career after the trio ends.
Why this hub
Band → solo split: Police catalog stays trio document; solo brand continues without Summers/Copeland.
Born Gordon Sumner, 1951. Writes most Police melodies; melodic bass high in the mix. After 1986 builds a solo catalog. Reunion tours return to the trio silhouette. Hub value: same voice, different logo economics.
