Chris Martin is currently a famous lead singer of Coldplay. But once he could not even think that this could happen. And the famous Bono inspired him to work. Martin himself often fools around on this subject in a close circle; he also calls himself Krono.
Biography
Chris Martin was born in a very simple family. On March 2, 1977, a boy was born - the son of an accountant and music teacher. Parents, Anthony and Alison Martin, were extremely happy for the appearance of the baby in the family and named him Christopher Anthony John Martin. By the way, Martin is the first-born of five children of parents. Mother from childhood instilled in her son a love of music, so quite early on he learned to play the piano. An interesting fact about the future star - he is an ambidexter. This is a person who equally knows how to use both the right and left hand.

He spent his school years in a private school, which teaches and educates boys exclusively. After graduating from school, Chris enters the University of London at the Department of the historian-researcher of antiquity. During his studies, the student became interested in Greek and Latin, and in the hockey game he could never do without him. By the way, it was in college that he met future members of a rock band: Guy Berryman studied engineering, Will Champion wanted to become an anthropologist, and Joni Buckland went deeper into mathematics and astronomy.
Carier start
In 1996, the legendary Coldplay band was formed, which at the moment often occupies the top lines in the music charts. And already in 1998, the rock band released their first mini-album Safety. The album did not bring much popularity, but gave an impetus to further achievements. World success was not long in coming, already in 1999 the guys released their first full-length studio album Parachutes, thanks to which not only their own country found out about them. Then the guys got their first Grammy Award. Thus began an incredible success story, which made it possible for Chris Martin to realize himself and his work. As the singer admits, money and fame is not the main thing for him, but it is important that if at least 8 songs of the group are played in bars around the world, then this is a real success.
Further, the singer’s career was gaining momentum. In 2002, the equally popular album A Rush of Blood to the Head was released. What can I say, this album immediately earned two Grammy Awards.

Personal life

As the singer himself says, if it were not for his career and popularity, which led him to the love of his life, he would hardly have ever started a family. A year later, the couple got married. It happened on December 5, 2003. At that time, the actress was pregnant, on May 14, 2004 their little Apple appeared.
