Get Ready to See and Hear More ofSheku Kanneh-Mason
In what could be a career move of the ages, the talented 19 year old Cellist was supposed to perform in Los Angeles this very weekend, but had been requested by royal couple to perform at their wedding this past Saturday after having seen him perform at a charity event in London.
In one of the truly amazing performances of an extraordinary wedding, Sheku emoted the sound of his performance through his face as if it was his face that was the instrument and the Cello was merely a prop as an afterthought. He is a truly remarkable performer and I wish him all the best wishes on a career that will now explode with success.
Imagine an American of his talent who would grab at the American exposure of a LA concert while acting stupidly to trade that in for a free performance at a wedding of uppity white people of privilege.
I applaud this young man and hope he just crushes it in his career. He traded in an audience that would have likely been under 20,000 for over 1 billion worldwide.
