Morrell

The talented youngster has performed at the Summit Festival, in Cornwall.

He has been nominated for an Oxfordshire Association for Young People award in its arts category

Helen Le Brocq, of OYAP, nominated Mr Morrell for the award. She said: “He’s doing all this and holding down a full-time job. I think he’s amazing. If ever we ask him to do a favour, he will be there.”

Mr Morrell said: “A lot of people portray hip-hop as a bad thing, a bad attitude.

“I’m completely the opposite. I like to talk about things that mean something, where people listen to a record and drift away, that’s the kind of music I mix.

Mr Morrell was supported in his music by the Courtyard Youth Arts Centre and the OYAP Trust

He said: “I have been doing music for about five years. I love it. There’s nothing that’s a better buzz. We are doing pretty good. My main influence was Eminem, but I have used he my own life experience in my music.”
