What is ‘Coldplay’? Who are these artists?
Coldplay is a British band. The core members of the group are singer and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist and keyboardist Johnny Bookland, bass guitarist Guy Berryman, drums and percussionist Will Champion and manager Phil Harvey. This Kampu’s musical journey began in 1997. Before that, both Chris and Johnny worked together for a while at University College London in 1996. The following year, Guy Berryman joined them. His rule was to compose songs and practice them continuously and then record them. But, they did not think that the drummer could be a permanent part of this band. So one had to depend on different drummers. This question was solved by Will Champion. A chance meeting of these four later became a long time companionship. Phil Harvey has been with Compu first as manager, then for a long time as creative director and again as manager.
