Jay Eatwell from the Isle of Wight is on Channel 4's The Piano final

The Channel 4 programme has been on the hunt for Great Britain’s most talented undiscovered pianists, along with musician and 'Grace Kelly' star Mika, pianist Lang Lang and presenter Claudia Winkleman.

Jay, 25, performed during a final concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall – which will air this evening.

He and the other finalists were discovered after playing on public pianos in some of Britain’s busiest train stations.

Jay was discovered at Kings Cross St Pancras Station in London and was described by Mika as a “really good piano player, a really good storyteller”.

He explained how playing the piano “has taken me out of a lot of negative situations” and said making it to the final of the show “really did feel like one of those life changing moments, and something I have never experienced before”.

Jay is no stranger to performing. He has been playing alongside his dad in pubs since he was little - on keyboard and mandolin.

It means he was introduced to blues, jazz and Leonard Cohen at an early age.

Later, he was trained for public performance by the Island's Platform One music college.

The Piano: The Final will air on Channel 4 tonight (March 15) at 9pm.
