An 11-year-old singer from Solihull has released his very first single, ‘You & I’, to raise funds in support of his cousin who is battling blood cancer.
Liam Price, who won ‘Open Mic UK’ at the NEC earlier this year, has been singing ever since he started to speak and with support from his parents Donna and Kevin and stepdad Adam, now has his music on global music platforms including iTunes.
Liam currently attends specialist music school Kimichi in Acocks Green and he is becoming very well known in the Midlands and nationally winning Pontins Talent Quest, John Lewis Star Quest, performing alongside Diversity at Dancefest 2017 and he appeared on Sky TV’s Teen Star 2017 which showcases the top 30 young singers in the UK.
“Having lost my great aunt to cancer, seeing the battle Harry is going through and knowing another of my cousins has cancer too, I was passionate about using my voice to raise funds to help support people like Harry.
Liam’s stepdad Adam Belcher is a staff nurse at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital A & E and along with his wife Donna and Liam’s father Kevin has helped Liam realise his dream.
“Liam is so talented and we are incredibly proud that he has chosen to use his talent to help others.
I have treated Harry a number of times when he has come into A & E and his bravery in battling this horrible disease is an inspiration to the whole family.
“The generosity of Harry’s family and friends never ceases to amaze me and this is a really original and inspirational fundraising idea from Liam. The song is fantastic and I really hope this can capture the hearts and minds of the public in the Midlands and further afield in the lead up to Christmas.
