Twelve-year-old Kobna is a born-and-bred Londoner who has always lived in Leyton with his mum and dad. He is best friends with Dean and they are inseparable both at school and on the estate.
Valentine's arrival in their usually quiet and strict household gives Kobna a taste of freedom, and inspires him to a love of music and DJing.
Despite a diverse range of family and friends from the West African community, he has no idea what his Sierra Leonean roots really mean and he can't speak Krio and Twi like his parents. He loves London and can't imagine living anywhere else.
