Eliot Paulina Sumner (born 30 July 1990) is an English musician, actor, and electronic music producer. Their debut album, The Constant (2010), was released under the band name I Blame Coco, while their solo work has been released under the name Eliot Sumner. Eliot is the child of musician Sting (born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner) and actress Trudie Styler. 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). The family gave Sumner the nickname "Coco". Drawn to the outdoors, Sumner spent a lot of time alone in the woods. Their family gave them their first guitar at age four or five, they wrote their first song at age 13, and signed a record deal four years later. 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. Sumner also works as a DJ in European dance clubs under the moniker "Vaal".
