Paul Colman is a British-Australian pop-rock guitarist, vocalist, pianist, and composer. He has earned recognition a Christian musician both independently and as part of his band, the Paul Colman Trio, as a solo artist, and with the band Newsboys. His songwriting talents have been recognized with a Grammy nomination and several Dove Awards.

Colman was born and raised in London to an Australian father and a British mother. At the age of seven, his father transitioned from a successful career in theatre and music to a life of ministry in Australia. His father became a long-standing Associate Pastor at Melbourne's Crossway Baptist Church and was a well known gospel singer. It was in Melbourne that Colman began his musical journey, forming his first band at the age of eleven. Early on, however, he did not take music seriously and focused on career as a high-school teacher of history, English, and religion.
