Стерлинг Симмс родился 7.07.82, американский R’n’B-исполнитель и композитор.

Он записал свои первые песни с дедом-музыкантом в возрасте 6 лет.

Когда ему исполнилось 15, мать переехала с семьёй из четырех детей в Атланту . Там Стерлинг начал сотрудничать с Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri и другими известными личностями в городе. После периода борьбы, Стерлинг начал уделять больше внимания музыке, писать песни, отложив амбиции в сторону.

В Атланте Стерлинг встретился с продюсером Teddy Bishop , который любил песни Стерлинга . Он спросил: «Кто пел эти песни?», и найдя Стерлинга, предложил ему продолжить исполнять свои композиции.

В ожидании предложений, Стерлинг отправился в Майами и, подписав контракт с известной студией, закончил свой первый альбом.

На Стерлинг оказали музыкальное влияния такие исполнители,как Boyz II Men , Aaliyah , Sade , Brian McKnight, Mario, New Edition, Usher и представители латиноамериканской музыки в целом.

В 2009 году Стерлинг стал соавтором песни Allison Iraheta «Robot Love» с дебютного альбома «Just Like You»,который был выпущен 1.12.09.
