While Kanneh-Mason's delicate skill speaks volumes, his endearing journey has been well documented on his Twitter account.
"I’m so excited and honoured to perform at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. I was bowled over when Ms Markle called me to ask if I would play during the ceremony," he tweeted in April.
He also shared photos of himself on his way to the wedding.
