Ipu Laga’aia is currently studying at the University of Auckland doing a Bachelor of Arts in music and teaching. His passion for music came to light at the young age of 3 years - singing in the church, but his path narrowed toward classical music in his final year at Sacred Heart College in 2013. He is currently exploring the world of opera, and within the last couple of years has been a part of a number of classical groups such as the Auckland Chamber Choir and SOTO VOCE. He hopes his talent will continue to expand vastly and is looking forward to the learning years to come.
