Tokio Myers, winner of this year's Britain's Got Talent, performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room. Tokio became a sensation when more than ten million people tuned in to watch him be crowned as the winner of the 12th series of ITV's popular talent show. Since then the Londoner with Jamaican heritage has been writing and recording in the studio - fusing an array of musical influences that have shaped him as an artist, ranging from classical and cinematic to hip-hop, dance and 90s' soul to create a totally unique new sound. He released his debut album, 'Our Generation', last month.
