Sting is a rocker, but his musical style is unique. He blends pop, jazz, world music and other genres, Britannica notes, adding that, in 2014 Sting received a Kennedy Center Honor, "awarded by the John F.

Sting also knows how to write a hit. "In April 2019 the BMI announced that 'Every Breath You Take' had become it's most performed song hitting 15 million radio plays and replacing 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' at the top spot," his official website notes.
