A celebration of Tinie Tempah's extraordinary career to date, from his childhood to the making of his albums Disc-Overy and Demonstration.

Written In The Stars: The Story Of Tinie Tempah sees Gemma Cairney dig a little deeper into the story of the man behind the massive hits Pass Out, Frisky, Written in the Stars, Trampoline and Children of the Sun, to name but a few...

Looking at Tinie's childhood, his early attempts to make it in the industry, and the making of his music, from album 'Disc-Overy' to 'Demonstration', this story chronicles Tinie's rise to fame, from the very beginnings to present day.
