Kella used to be the runner-up winner of Channel 4’s skills showcase, The Piano. Her debut single, Eve & Frank, is available now.
This 23-year-old self-taught classical pianist started playing the machine at the age of 13 and, before devoting himself to music, he was passionate about football.
Kella grew up in Bootle on Merseyside and says there was never a question about who she would back.
“My whole family were Liverpool fans,” he told BBC Game. “So, I was also introduced to Pink.
“My favorite players growing up were Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard – that was my date.
“I was too young to remember Istanbul [Liverpool’s legendary Champions League triumph] properly. I can remember all the fireworks that went off afterwards, but it’s only a vague memory.
“The focus for me is newer: the Barcelona game in which they gave us a 3-0 victory at the Camp Nou, but then they came to Anfield in the second leg and we beat them 4-0. It was a fantastic match. night.
“I loved Jordan Henderson and Virgil van Dijk from that team, he was a great defensive standout and is possibly the best defender in the world, but that whole team under Jurgen Klopp was just ridiculously good.”
Kella was invited to play games in the Legends Front room at Anfield before Liverpool’s first game of the season against Brentford, when the club’s new trophy room opened and she was presented with a shirt signed by legendary striker Ian Accelerate.
“That was just amazing,” Kella added. “But when I was there, I talked to some people about Arne Slot and how he had such big shoes to fill.
“I can’t believe anything is more disheartening than taking on Klopp’s process immediately after he left, but Slot has completely destroyed him from the field.
“Not only did we win games. The results have been fantastic, but we also played good football.”
Kella plays a dozen less football these days, but was in action this past in an investment game at Bootle FC to raise money for Zoe’s Playground, a hospice for young children in West Derby which is liable to close due to investment scarce. .
“It’s huge for Liverpool that this facility remains open, so the whole city is doing everything they can to raise funds,” he explained.
“That day I even wore blue, but never again!”
