Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the record-breaking 19 year-old British cellist who became a viral sensation after being personally invited by the Duchess of Sussex to perform at Royal Wedding in May 2018. He previously rose to fame as the first black musician to win BBC Young Musician in 2016 and winner of The Times South Bank Breakthrough award 2017. Performing regularly as a soloist and twice at the BAFTA awards, Sheku’s debut album ‘Inspiration’ was released early 2018.
Sheku’s version of Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’ went viral worldwide and he became the first BBC Young Musician winner to enter the Official UK Albums Chart with a debut recording, as well as the youngest cellist ever to reach the Top 20. He is one of this year’s biggest breakthrough artists - across any genre.
Sheku has been on a whirlwind adventure since winning BBC Young Musician 2016 - performing Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ at the BAFTAs in front of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, playing at 10 Downing Street as part of the 30th anniversary of Black History Month, and making his BBC Proms debut as a soloist with Chineke! - Europe’s first majority BME (black and minority ethnic) orchestra - with the video of his performance going viral. He now studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Is anyone else watching this because they saw him play at the BAFTAS recently? You play so wonderfully, it is so nice to watch you play. You could not get that sound on another instrument if you tried. The person I was watching this on TV with said, "Wow! He makes that thing sing!" You really do. Dr BEN.

Sheku is absolutely my all-time favorite cellist! I LOVE him! Yo-Yo Ma is certainly still in my top favorites. However, Sheku has edged himself above Yo-Yo Ma with me. I love hearing his double-stops! His performances bring out so much emotion in me and I often get chills around the crown of my head and down my shoulders! At times during his performances, he seems so rapt in his music and I think to myself: "If he were to shed a tear while playing, I would absolutely fall to pieces!" As a classically trained percussionist, I have been placed in awe of Sheku and think that it would be such an impressive honor to one day be able to meet and spend time with him! I have such great appreciation for his musical talent!

Advanced playing in my mind..aside from know- how of vibrato style, etc is the amount of feeling someone has. Some feel deeply at young ages and others have to wait on more life experience for it to come. I was the latter.
