COP26: Barack Obama praises Ipswich drummer Nandi Bushell's video with Greta Thunberg and Jack Black

Barack Obama has hailed a young Ipswich drumming prodigy's climate change message.

Eleven-year-old Nandi Bushell has released a protest song featuring Jack Black and climate activist Greta Thunberg to tie in with the COP26 environmental summit.

Nandi also joined forces with former Rage Against the Machine legend Tom Morello's son Roman on the track.

The youngsters chorus "Children will rise up, our voices will be heard" as they urge those in power to save the environment for future generations.

The schoolgirl described the "incredible" feeling of realising the music video, released last month, had caught the attention of the former United States President himself.

Mr Obama shared her YouTube clip with his 55 million Facebook followers this week, writing: "Many social movements have been started and sustained by young people.

"Nandi and Roman used music as a way to share their compelling message about why we need to take action on climate change."

She added she was "incredibly proud" that the former world leader had shared the video.

Nandi previously shot to fame when Dave Grohl invited her to perform live onstage with the Foo Fighters after she engaged the frontman in a Twitter rock battle.
