Born in Buckinghamshire in 1960, Coleman grew up in Cambridgeshire and has lived[when?] in London since 1982. He is a former music editor of Time Out and an arts and music journalist for The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. In 2010 he wrote The Train in the Night: A Story of Music and Loss, about coming to terms with his own experience five years earlier of hearing loss.[1][2][3][4], published in 2012. It was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize 2012.

His other books are the novel, Pillow Man (2015),[5] [6] which was a runner-up for the McKitterick Prize, and Voices: How a Great Singer Can Change Your Life (2018), an exploration of what it means to listen to, and be compelled by, singing.[7]
