Cruz Beckham working with Rita Ora's writer as he prepares to launch music career

David and Victoria Beckham ’s son Cruz is working with Rita Ora ’s award-winning writer as he prepares to launch his new pop career.

The 17-year-old - who released a festive single in 2016 - is working with Swedish ace Koda, real name Kristoffer Eriksson, on new material.

It comes as the teen has learned to play the guitar, piano and drums and even the mandolin, and said his focus is on “just making the music I love”.

Koda won a prestigious BMI Award in London this week, for having one of the most performed works with his song, You.

Earlier this year, Cruz revealed he had teamed up with Justin Bieber ’s writer Poo Bear, who was behind his hit Where Are U Now, and in April, Cruz signed to Ellie Goulding ’s management team Tap.

But of course, he has already played one pretty impressive gig.

In 2008, Cruz - then three - performed a breakdancing routineon stage at New York’s Madison Square Gardens with mum Victoria in front of 20,000 people, and promptly upstaged Posh and her Spice Girls bandmates.

Maybe he’ll let them come on for a cameo when he headlines, in return.
