He is a Grammy and Brit Award-nominated music producer who has worked with the likes of Childish Gambino, Lil Wayne and J Cole, but S-X says that his biggest career achievement so far is being able to buy a house in his hometown of Wolverhampton.

S-X, real name Sam Gumbley, 29, got his big break while at secondary school when an instrumental track he produced, Woo Riddim, blew up online, being used by a number of artists in the grime scene.

In the years since, he has become an established producer and artist. Before he was 18, he had worked with Skepta, Chipmunk and Tinie Tempah.

He has also become a solo artist, releasing his debut album on Friday - but one thing hasn't changed for S-X through the years - his loyalty and love for his hometown.

S-X speaks to ITV News' Here's The Story about his journey to success, opening up about mental health, and the pressures on artists to post on social media.
