Story summary
King Charles and Sir Elton John were among the guests at a music workshop held in the restored Battersea Power Station in south London, where they attended a performance by singer-songwriter Skye Newman before an event organized by Apple’s new live music venue. The initiative is part of a collaboration between Apple and the King's Trust, aimed at equipping young people with practical skills for the creative industries.
The workshop took place in the state-of-the-art Apple Music Hall within the restored Battersea Power Station, where both Charles and Elton John listened intently to Newman’s performance. They both applauded afterward and briefly conversed. The King also interacted with a cohort of young participants involved in music creation sessions designed by Apple and the King's Trust Creative Labs, which provide resources and training.
During an earlier session, Charles met with Apple Music’s head of artist services, Prophet Guillory, praising his work as a mentor for young artists. Charles joked about understanding Guillory’s efforts despite seeming familiar with them. The event featured rapper KP performing her song created at the workshop, titled "Out here/Grand," which received heavy applause from the King.
This collaboration aims to offer technology and resources needed by youth in South London to enter the creative sector, leveraging Apple's technological capabilities alongside the cultural influence of the King’s Trust.
