Eliot Paulina Sumner (born 30 July 1990) is an English singer, songwriter and actor. They are the child of musician Sting and actress Trudie Styler.
They began their music career at a young age and signed a record deal with Island Records at 17. Sumner released their debut album The Constant in 2010 under the name I Blame Coco. They have acted in films and TV shows, including The Gentlemen and No Time to Die, and Ripley on Netflix in 2024. They were nominated for Best Newcomer at the Virgin Media Music Awards in 2010.
Early life and education
[edit]Eliot Paulina Sumner[1] was born on 30 July 1990 in Pisa, Italy [2] to actress Trudie Styler and musician Sting (Gordon Sumner). [3] They grew up in Wiltshire, England,[2] and were educated at Bryanston School and then the Fine Arts College in London.[4]
They grew up at Lake House, the family estate near Stonehenge. Eliot has two brothers (Jake and Giacomo), a sister (Mickey), an older half-brother (Joe), and a half-sister (Kate). Their family gave Sumner the nickname "Coco". Drawn to the outdoors, Sumner spent a lot of time alone in the woods. Their family gave Eliot their first guitar at age four or five.[5]
Music career
[edit]I Blame Coco
[edit]Sumner began writing songs at the age of 15,[6] and signed a multi-record deal with Island Records at age 17.[7][8]
They spent six months writing and recording a debut album, The Constant (2010), in Sweden with producer Klas Åhlund,[6] keyboardist Emlyn Maillard, and multi-instrumentalist and producer Al Shux under the band name I Blame Coco. The album included elements of pop music, electronic music, ska, and punk. The first single, "Caesar", featured Swedish pop singer Robyn.[2] The next single, "Self Machine", was released in July 2010.[9]
According to Christian Wåhlberg, Sumner's manager, Åhlund, had been keen to work with Sumner because he saw the "punk rocker" in them.[10] Wåhlberg said that the electropop sound of the album was influenced by Darcus Beese, president of Island Records, and that if Sumner had signed to a different record label, the music would have been different.[10]
After recording and touring with I Blame Coco, they lived alone in a cottage in the Lake District of England and became interested in house music.[5]
Solo career
[edit]Sumner sang a cover version of the Radiohead song "Creep" with Clint Mansell for the soundtrack to the movie Filth (2013).[citation needed]
In 2014, Sumner said their music would be released under their birth name, Eliot Sumner. Later that year, they released the EP Information, and in 2016 the full album Information appeared. Sumner's contributions to other musicians' albums include vocals for the song "End of the Road" by Sway and the single "Splash" by Sub Focus.[11]
DJ
[edit]As of 2016[update], Sumner was also working as a DJ in European dance clubs under the moniker "Vaal".[5]
Acting career
[edit]Sumner appeared briefly in the films Me Without You (2001) and Stardust (2007). They made their adult acting debut in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen in 2020. They appeared in the James Bond film No Time to Die (2021).[1]
They played a hiker in the thriller Infinite Storm, appearing before Naomi Watts' character began hiking to the summit of Mt. Washington.[citation needed]
