Sterling recorded his first song with his grandfather at the age of 6. His grandfather, a musician himself, introduced him to the sounds of Sam Cooke.
When he was 15, his mother moved the family of four children to Atlanta. There Sterling began to make the rounds with Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and other music makers in the city. After a period struggling, Sterling began to focus on writing, putting his artist ambitions aside. Returning to Philadelphia, Sterling reconnected with Kenny Gamble.
Back in Atlanta, Sterling met up with producer Teddy Bishop, who liked the songs Sterling was working on. Bishop asked, "Who was the voice behind the songs?" At Teddy's prompting Sterling decided to pursue becoming a performer again.
He sang for Lyor Cohen, Kevin Liles and a group of other influential music executives, giving them Sam Cooke's "A Long Time Coming." They were impressed with Sterling and by this time Warner Bros and Atlantic were very interested in signing him.
While waiting for an offer, Sterling traveled to Miami with Bishop to the VMA’s. Bishop played Sterling’s music for industry veteran George Robinson. Robinson recognized his talent at once and convinced the partners of One Recordings to make Sterling their first release. Sterling signed with One Recordings in 2005 and began finishing his album.
Eventually a meeting was set up with L.A. Reid at Island/Def Jam. Two months later One Recordings signed a deal with Island/Def Jam to jointly release Sterling Simms.
Sterling's musical influences include Boyz II Men, Aaliyah, Sade, Brian McKnight, Mario, New Edition, Usher and Latin music generally.
In 2009, Sterling co-wrote "Robot Love," a song on Allison Iraheta's debut album "Just Like You," which will be released on December 1, 2009.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like it when your with a perfume
Do you know what time it is?

Welcome to the boom boom room
Welcome to the sensual atmosphere I have created for us
I like it when you wear perfume
I am aroused by your feminine scent
Do you know what time it is?
Are you ready for some action?
Ooh, ooh, well yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh
Expressing excitement and anticipation for what's to come
Turn that C-D player off, girl
Let's focus on each other and not get distracted by music
Tonight we about to make a song
We are about to engage in passionate lovemaking
I'll treat your body like an instrument
I will explore every inch of your body to create pleasure
I promise I won't do you wrong.
I vow to please and satisfy you
I'll push your buttons like a Casio
I know how to stimulate you, both physically and mentally
'Cause you a freak but you still classy though
You have a wild side but you also carry yourself with elegance
She said she want me to show and prove
The partner is looking for proof that I can satisfy them
And then she followed me into my room
The partner is eager to engage in sexual activity with me
