Paul Colman

Paul Colman, (born August 22 1968 in London, England), is an British-Australian pop-rock guitarist, vocalist, pianist and composer.

He has made a name for himself as a Christian musician independently, with his band Paul Colman Trio, and recently with the Newsboys.

Early Life

Paul was born and raised in London, but when Paul turned 7, his father felt called to leave his succesful life of theatre and music for a life of ministry back in Australia. Paul's father is Australian but his mother is British. Paul Colman thus began his musical career living in Melbourne, Australia. Colman started his first band when he was 11 years old. During the first part of his life, Colman did not take music too seriously and focussed on his career as a High School teacher teaching History, English and Religion.
