A Croydon busker is on his way to stardom.

Earlier this year, Zac Carpenter took his musical talents to the streets of London, or more specifically, its buses.

As part of the Mayor's Gigs competition, the best buskers from around London were asked to perform aboard two specially commissioned buses for a chance to showcase their talents.

Zac was up against 32 other competitors in the soloists and duos category and thanks to a few impressive performances, reached the final alongside 11 other artists.

Zac's band, Roadstead, is also up for the songwriting prize against five others.

Prizes include a London Underground busking licence, studio time and busking equipment which will be awarded by the judges to the top three acts.

The Gigs Grand Final will take place on Sunday 3 September at Westfield London.
