Inpop Records announced today that it has finalized a recording agreement with Paul Colman, former frontman and founding member of Dove Award-winning Aussie group Paul Colman Trio (pc3).
Colman, who announced plans to lead a solo career earlier this month, has already begun an impressive career as the leader of pc3. The band was named the Gospel Music Association’s New Artist of the Year in 2003 and one of 2002’s Top Ten Breakthrough Artists of the Year by Radio & Records. The group’s debut project, New Map of the World, received a GRAMMY nomination for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album in 2003, along with producing two #1 radio singles and giving the Trio an opening slot on Third Day’s 2002 “Come Together” Tour.
“I am very excited about signing to Inpop records,” said Colman. “Peter and I have been mates for years and it is wonderful to be able to now work alongside each other, making music that glorifies God and shares His love and grace with the world.”
“Paul has been a good friend of mine for years and I love his heart,” said Newsboys frontman Peter Furler, founder and co-owner of Inpop Records. “We cannot wait to be a part of his future because I think the best is yet to come for Paul Colman.”
Colman’s immediate solo plans include appearances at major festivals this summer, including Atlanta Fest, Creation Festivals East and West, Kingdom Bound and Rock the Universe at Universal Studios Florida, among many others, and an acoustic set for an expected crowd of over 80,000 at Billy Graham’s “Heart of America” crusade in Kansas City. As a solo artist, Colman has contributed songs to the recent compilation projects WOW Worship (Red), the latest installment of the best-selling series; Forefront Records’ Veggie Rocks! compilation for the highly popular Veggie Tales™ series; and an upcoming worship compilation from Nashville-based Waterfront Records.
Colman made his first appearances as an Inpop artist at Gospel Music Week 2004. In addition to media interviews, Colman co-hosted and performed at the late night showcase sponsored by outreach organization World Vision, and participated in the “Hear My Heart” Managers, Agents & Promoters (MAPS) Track panel.
