Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a 19-year-old cellist from Nottingham, captivated the congregation and everyone watching the royal wedding, his music filling St. George's Chapel.
Sheku has been playing since he was 6.
He has a nearly priceless Amati cello that's more than 400 years old and is never out of his sight.
He's studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a full scholarship, along with his older siblings. In fact, every one of Sheku's six brothers and sisters have spent their life playing classical music.
