Madonna gave MNEK a bag of lemons and some throat-soothing tea bags to help him keep his voice in tip-top shape.
The 19-year-old singer/songwriter has teamed up with the music legend on a song for her upcoming new album and admits the 56-year-old star gave him plenty of advice about how to look after his vocal chords.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "She’s really cool. So lovely and very motherly. She gave me a bag full of lemons and Throat Coat tea bags. They’re pretty amazing."
MNEK is set to perform at a new music initiative, MUSIC CUBE, at shopping centre Westfield London, west London, alongside Neon Jungle later this month, and the star insists it is important for new platforms to be created to promote live music for up-and-coming talent.
He added: "I’m really excited by the MUSIC CUBE concept. I love performing live and it’s great to see that Westfield has created a new way for people to experience and interact with live music.
"MUSIC CUBE is also about supporting up-and-coming independent talent so I’m looking forward to seeing the other new acts over the two weekends."
MNEK and Neon Jungle will take to the stage in a bespoke soundproof glass cube at MUSIC CUBE, which is exclusive to Westfield London (October 24-26) and Westfield Stratford City (October 31-November 2).
Free tickets are available now at: http://uk.westfield.com/london/musiccube for Westfield London
