A 16 year old British boy from the Isle of Wight is set to become the next world wide music sensation, Mr Damian reveals.

John Ellis, who describes his music as a mixture of hip hop and rap, discovered whilst doing a school project that his cousin - fifty times removed - is the US megastar 50 Cent.

'Doing the project made me realise that music was my destiny. It is my calling,' John told Mr Damian.

After a series of auditions before ruthless A&R men, a bitter battle then ensued as rival labels tried to sign a man that one talent scout claimed 'could be bigger than the Wonderstuff.'

Now, a mere 6 weeks since he signed for Notorious BMG, Ellis is set to be unleashed onto an unsuspecting public - his label seeking to cash in on his famous cousin by giving the youngster a new stage name: 'One Cent'.

'I'm really excited' the boy told us, 'as soon as I've got my GCSE's out of the way I'm going to be bigging it up and having it so large I'll be supersize.'

Don't worry, we've no idea what that meant either.
