The Brit rock quartet with members Chris Martin (vocals/piano), Jon
Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums) and Guy Berryman (bass) comes to
existence in 1996 at the Halls of Residence of University College London,
where they all study. Chris combines the guitar with being the vocal singer
of the band, Jon plays the guitar too, Guy is the bass player, and Will
takes the role of drummer. Their two-year efforts as a new band give a good
result their first EP, which they fund and distribute on their own. Their
continuous dedication to music-making and performance-doing catches the eye
of Simon Williams, the co-founder of Fierce Panda Records who offers them a
one-off deal that gives birth to the 'Brothers and Sisters' EP release on
the Fierce Panda label. After graduating from UCL in 1999 the band signs to
Parlophone Records. This is the landmark moment in their platinum career.
With the release of 'Yellow' that turns into a hit single for a short time
Coldplay make their voice be heard by the thousands of potential fans of
theirs and the album 'Parachutes' attacks the peak of album chart with
success. Just a few years later the band is nominated for the Mercury Music
Prize, which makes them look ahead and search for new creative challenges in
their blossoming career. Such a challenge is the release of 'A Rush of Blood
to the Head' in August 2002 that is sold in million copies worldwide and is
acclaimed by both fans and critics. With their latest album XandY Coldplay
prove that their best works are yet to come. Parallel to their music
activity, the band dedicates much of their time and efforts to various
charity events and humanitarian initiatives, using the power of music as
their main weapon of message distribution.
