BBC Stories - Young, gifted and giving back

Produced, directed filmed and edited

Sheku, the first black BBC Young Musician, chose to give all his winnings to his secondary school who couldn’t afford to subsidise cello lessons.

We took Sheku back to his school to find out why…

This was an exclusive for BBC Stories. I found the story by chance on Twitter and asked Sheku’s PR team to hold it for us.

This video ran a second time in the run up to Sheku’s performance at the royal wedding where he, ‘#cellobae’ was trending on social media.
