Manurewa High School student Sonatane Kaufusi performs live

From Afternoons, 1:13 pm on 27 August 2018

Last Thursday we were blown away by one of the finalists in the auckland schools performance contest, Stand up Stand Out. Silika Isaia performed her own song Mad Men live in our studio.

This afternoon we meet another finalist from SUSO - singer/songwriter Sonatane Kaufusi from Manurewa High School.

He's been playing and performing since year 9, and this year released his debut Birdie which reached number 1 on the Spotify viral charts and has now been streamed over 500,000 times.
