It's my first name with my middle name's initial (U WILL NEVER KNOW)

Yes i do play live, mostly at churches & youth explosions. I love it because I'm doing it for God. One special moment was when all the men sang to our grandma "MOMA" By Boys II Men i was leading of course (KIDDING)

Because indie artist such as myself get heard all over the world and it broadens their musical horizons.

Yes, I wouldn't mind, but that's not a number one priority in my life, I enjoy singing god's music. I really do love live singing (theatre).

Ian P has the talent, energy, and determination capable of capturing the hearts of the young and young at heart. He is excited about what talents GOD has given to him and everyday he is strengthening them to become the best he can be for the kingdom. Ian P (Ian Palawn Coulter-Buford) was born prematurely (1lb. 15 oz), he was a miracle child. *His infamous testimony* The doctors said he wasn't going to make it, but with the prayers of family members and churches from across the country, God spared his life. Ian started singing at the tender age of three at his Grandfather’s, (Superintendent Elder Shellie E. Howard) church, Howard's Temple C.O.G.I.C. in East St. Louis, IL. Ian loved to sing when he was younger but as he got older he kind of hid it, but now, Ian is ready to give a message to the world, that you don't have to sit on your talent, LET IT OUT! Ian is “hype” for Christ, and with the knowledge that God wants to bring the Youth into his kingdom, there is no stopping him! Currently Ian is attending the prestigious Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, IL, where he studies Music Theatre. Ian is trained in acting, ballet, vocal performance, modern, hip-hop, jazz, and tap dance. He is attempting to advance in all three levels of his major, which will enhance his assets as a gospel artist. He uses real life experience to relate to listeners of his age and beyond, “Everyone goes through every feeling at one time or another”. Born and raised in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, he is ready to take JESUS to the ears of the young and the young at heart.
