Sheku Kanneh-Mason rose to fame after performing at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Now, he's releasing and touring his latest album, Song.
It isn't a straight forward classical album — there are folk pieces, Welsh music, jazz, pop and even some of Sheku's own writing.
The acclaimed cellist tells Tom Power why Song is so personal, and what it was like growing up in a house of seven siblings who all played music.
