Harry Grigg is a gifted young tenor studying at the New Zealand Opera School in Whanganui.
He loves to sing but admits that trying to advance in the world of opera is no mean feat.
"It's endless hard slog work," he says.
But being from a "smallish" sheep station in Cheviot in Canterbury he knows from farm work that hard slog gets the job done.
He said he had his mum to thank for his musical ability for she was not only a singer and pianist but also a teacher.
Harry's clear tenor voice still has a few years to go before fully maturing but Harry is working hard to bring it to fruition.
