West Yorkshire teen songsmith’s specially penned Christmas song to help a couple of charities
Simply called Christmas Time, the talented 18-year-old has released it on iTunes and Amazon Music for 99p to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Proceeds from the song - a soft and gentle number with an easy-going melodic kick – will be split evenly between the two charities.

Mason also selected the Teenage Cancer Trust because he believes its awareness and support is so vital for young cancer sufferers.
Christmas Time features Luke Burgess on drums, Ted Crosby on the trumpet and two Leeds City College choir singers, Annie-Cunningham-Booth and Emma Rose.
It was recorded and mixed by Piper Dawes at Vibrations Studio in Lockwood.

Mason didn’t start playing the guitar until he was 13 when he taught himself, began singing and then started song writing.
He quickly became a familiar sight busking in the Colne Valley, was given his first performing break at the Northern Sole café in Slaithwaite and has never looked back. He’s released several of his self-penned songs on Spotify.
The first song he learned was Love Of My Life by Queen and Mason can now perform dozens of cover versions ranging from the Beatles through to George Ezra.
