In 1977, he formed the band *The Police* with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band achieved great success with five studio albums and received numerous awards including six Grammy Awards and two Brits. They were also inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
Sting's career started with his involvement in various bands such as *The Phoenix Jazzmen*.
