Taking to social media, she explained that “I am #LOVING the collaboration between @edsheeran and @bmthofficial! Ed is a local #hero in #ipswich where I live! When I heard one of my favourite bands #BMTH, was collaborating with my local hero, I had to give their tune a go!“.

Bushell, who at the shy age of eleven already has hundreds of thousands of social media followers, has made a name for herself through her eccentric covers of classic rock songs. In the past she’s covered the likes of “Gimme Shelter“ by The Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever“ and even Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now“.

If you want to read more about her background and what she was getting up to in the new year, you can look here. Either way, she has many admirers in the industry, even among the classic rock elite. The likes of Ringo Starr and Queen’s Roger Taylor have done collaborations with her in the past.

However, it seems she’s determined to use her fame for a good cause as of now. Her 2021 original song “The Children Will Rise Up!“, a collaboration with Tom Morello’s son Roman, sought to raise awareness about climate change. And she’s recently worked with The Miraculous Love Kids, a charity organisation helping to teach music to Afghan girls, raising awareness of the difficulties they face living in a country recently taken over by the Taliban.

To help out, Bushell and a number of other musicians released the charity single “God Help Us All“, which was written by Tom Morello. Lanny Cordola, the organisation’s founder, was obviously pleased by all the support, admitting that “It has been a hellish past six months trying to evacuate and relocate the girls and their families …. Tom Morello’s soul hymn perfectly encapsulates this feeling …. The convergence of all these talents truly shows how music can unify artists from different idioms and cultures to lend their voices to the vulnerable, marginalised suffering souls of the Earth.”
