Liverpudlian virtuoso pianist Brad Kella has announced his debut album 'Phoebe's Melody', released 6th June on Modern Sky UK, a remarkable album from a unique artist with an equally remarkable story. When Brad Kella won Channel 4's The Piano , he knew his life would change forever. And so it has proved. From being homeless and playing street pianos to make ends meet, he's now living out his childhood dream of performing his own music to audiences of thousands in the world's greatest concert halls. ' It's been the best feeling in the entire world,' he says from his Liverpool home, where he lives with his partner and two young children. 'If I could put that feeling from those shows into a bottle and sell it, I'd be a billionaire. ' The album features arrangements from world renowned string arranger Rosie Danvers. Speaking about the album Rosie has said, ' Brad Kella is a refreshingly modern voice in classical music. Self-taught, he transcends traditional technique, playing with a natural, fluid, and lyrical style. His subtle phrasing lends emotional depth, creating music that speaks directly to the heart. Kella's gift for melody -- catchy, infectious, and timeless -- brings classical music firmly into the 21st century. It's a true joy to collaborate with him! ' When purchasing the Phoebe's Melody Mug you can scan the QR code to donate to Fatima's UK Campaign, a charity run by Fatima Whitbread MBE that supports care experienced young people. From Brad "I've chosen to work with Fatima's campaign as I was once a foster child and really align with the work Fatima is doing for people like me. Foster care is something that needs more attention, and I love how Fatima has used her platform to push the foster care community.
