16-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and musician Sting is coming to BUILD to discuss his new album “57th & 9th” out on November 11. The album, Sting’s first rock/pop project in over 10 years, represents a wide range of musical and songwriting styles, from the ferocious track “Petrol Head” to the raucous, “I Can’t Stop Thinking About You." Sting says that the key to producing good music is to maintain an element of surprise - for himself, the people he is working with and most of all the listeners. Hear Sting talk about the inspirations behind this new album and why the record came together so quickly when he hits the stage.
