Hailed as the new face of British R&B by Radio 1, Sirach Charles (aka Angel) from London's Shepherd's Bush was writing and producing for Pixie Lott and Roll Deep before he was signed to Island Records.
Rihanna has also asked for writing sessions with him. His single "Wonderful" was a Top 10 hit this summer. Aged 10, he joined his siblings in his family's band, managed by his dad. His new album, About Time, is out next month.
