“Fabulously gifted” –The Times
“Cello Rockstar” –Esquire
Song,
the new album from cellist Sheku-Kanneh Mason, features music from
across the entire spectrum of classical, folk, jazz and pop – all
personally curated by Sheku. The eclectic mix of styles are tied
together by one thing – the unique singing voice of Sheku’s cello.
Sheku
Kanneh-Mason became a household name in 2018 after performing at the
wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at Windsor Castle. His
performance was greeted with universal excitement and was seen by nearly
two billion people globally.
Sheku
initially garnered renown as the winner of the 2016 BBC Young Musician
Competition, the first black musician to take the title. He has released
two chart-topping albums on the Decca Classics label, Inspiration
(2018) and Elgar (2020). The latter reached #8 in the overall UK
official album chart, making Sheku the first cellist in history to reach
the UK top 10.
