Philip Christopher Harvey (born 29 August 1976) is an English manager and creative director. He is best known for his work with the rock band Coldplay. While attending Trinity College, Oxford, he used to organise and promote student parties at local clubs, dropping out of his course to manage the band and helping them finance Safety (1998). They signed a record deal with Parlophone in 1999 and found global fame with Parachutes (2000) and subsequent albums.
Harvey left Coldplay's line-up for four years due to the stress of managing the group by himself, a job which usually requires a team. He completed a psychology degree at the University of Melbourne during this interval, returned as a creative director, and started to make select cameo appearances in their music videos. He won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year as part of Coldplay. Having sold over 100 million albums worldwide,[a] they are the most successful group of the 21st century.[3]
