Royal wedding cellist: Teenaged musician Sheku Kanneh-Mason wows guests

[@suffslim]

Not only did he sound amazing, but he's also killing em with his sock game lol.

[@DavieD609]

suffslim they were a gift from Paul Smith

[@ayu3565]

LMAO💀💀💀

[@knolose1]

And he’s gorgeous

[@AprilMartinChartrandMS]

The sock colors coordinate with his tie. Love a bit of creative spirit in a world on Black Suits and White Shirts... Men need to have fun with fashion also.

[@TheFever77]

He’s 19, from Nottingham in England and has multiple siblings who all play musical instruments. They appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and he won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2016.

[@Afriplay.X]

Journey of the soul..... This is Bliss.

I remember getting the chills when I heard them on BGT. I love the emotion that goes into their music, some musicians play without feeling but this was just so touching.

I’m guessing due to the audience shots where all the rich privileged people appeared to be mostly bored, or having their own cheerful conversations, oblivious of the fact that this young man is putting on a heartfelt performance of a lifetime…
