Paul Colman Bio
Paul Colman is a British-Australian singer/songwriter, pop-rock guitarist, composer and producer. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee.
He has made a name for himself with his band the Paul Colman Trio, then as a solo artist, and as part of the very popular The Newsboys.
His songwriting abilities have been acknowledged with a Grammy Nomination and Dove Awards.
He has performed on 6 out of 7 continents and in all 50 States of the USA. He has written hit singles, garnered numerous awards and has sold hundreds of thousands of records.
Colman was born and brought up in London; his father is Australian and his mother is British. When he was seven years old, his father left his successful life of theatre and music and went back to Australia.
Colman began his musical career living in Melbourne, starting his first band when he was eleven years old.
During the first part of his life Colman did not take music too seriously, and focused on his career as a high-school teacher.
In 1998, Colman began the Paul Colman Trio, or PC3, in Melbourne. The debut single, "Fill My Cup", ranked number three on TRAA. He twice was Artist and Song of the Year on Australian Radio.
Colman then announced that he would go solo. His debut solo album, "Let It Go", gained much popularity in America and Australia. But after a couple of years, he joined The Newsboys.
Colman fans can be found around the globe due to his willingness to travel sharing his craft with listeners from Uganda to Holland to Perth and beyond.
Paul still travels the globe singing and speaking and sharing his songs and thoughts.
Sept 2018 saw him release “Most Requested”, his most current collection of past songs.
Paul has released 17 recordings in total featuring his songs.

"hooky guitar-pop"
"guitar-pop that sounds something like John Mayer's older brother"

VANESSA FORERO BIO
British/Colombian singer-songwriter Vanessa Forero has been composing since childhood. Professionally, since 2004, she has been writing film/TV scores and songs for other artists, winning Hollywood awards for ‘best score’, working with the Liverpool Philharmonic, and with broadcasts on major channels on TV and cinema screens across the world.
Then came the day when Brit award singer-songwriter Beth Orton selected Forero to collaborate for her UK show, eventually encouraging her to sing her own song. Forero got a taste for the stage and got set to carving herself out into her own artist.
She self-produces, writes, records and performs all the parts on her records, choosing only tribal drums from Colombia instead of drum kits, and churning out a distinctive Indie/Folk style, highly melodic with the fire and guts of her Colombian side.
Once based in London, Forero now composes in her self-build studio up a sacred mountain in Colombia, where (oddly enough) she met NYC grammy-award winning producer Christian Castagno in the same mountain, with whom she has been collaborating with this year. Also finding renown Real-World producer Richard Blair (Sidestepper) in Bogota, with whom she collaborated on ‘ASHES’, the next upcoming record.
Her music comes accompanied by striking music videos, worldwide tours, BBC radio plays, with over a million plays on Spotify and playing from the backs of Colombian bars to on stage at the famous Abbey Road studio 1, often accompanied by her feather girls, who she describes as: “my pair of wildcat señoritas who bang tribal drums and boldly show off some feline passion with their voices and strength!”
Forero is also co-author of a bestselling book she wrote about her mother "The Girl With No Name", which became the Globally broadcast National Geographic documentary: "Woman Raised By Monkeys", for which Forero scored part of the soundtrack.
With a sequel book (inc. potential movie) coming up, new records in the making and a North American tour in planning, Vanessa is one to watch for!
