“I Am A Non-Binary Person Undecided On My Orientation”: What Does Sting’s Daughter Look Like?
Eliot Sumner, the non-binary child of musician Sting, is carving their own path in the creative world. Born in Pisa, Italy, Eliot is the youngest of Sting’s six children. Music wasn’t always the plan. As a child, Eliot dreamt of becoming a chef. However, music found them at the young age of four with their first guitar. This sparked a passion for music that would lead them to master multiple instruments. Determined to forge their own identity, Eliot chose the pseudonym I Blame Coco for their debut album “The Constant,” released at 19. This move aimed to distance themself from their famous father’s shadow and establish themself on their own merit.
Eliot’s talent speaks for itself. Songwriting began at 15, and “The Constant” garnered critical acclaim. Major studio contracts and collaborations with renowned artists like Robyn and Pete Doherty followed. In between musical releases, Eliot explored the techno scene under the DJ alias Vaal, showcasing their versatility and passion for electronic music. A shift towards using their own name, Eliot Sumner, came in 2016 with the release of the album “Information.” While acknowledging the inevitable shadow of their famous parents, Eliot is determined to be recognized for their own artistic achievements.
Beyond music, Eliot has dabbled in acting with cameo roles in films like “With You and Without You” and “Stardust.” Their most recent project is a starring role in the series “Ripley,” an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s classic psychological thriller.
Eliot is also open about their sexual orientation. Having come out as a lesbian in 2015, Eliot emphasizes the importance of authenticity and living life on their own terms. While past relationships with model Lucy Von Alten and socialite Frankie Herbert garnered some media attention, Eliot remains focused on their creative pursuits.
Eliot Sumner’s story is one of self-discovery and artistic expression. Their dedication to music and their courage to embrace their true identity make them a compelling figure in the creative world.
