Young Leader: I want to see where the music takes me

As a new decade dawns, Stuff is running a five-part series on New Zealand's young leaders. Education reporter Lee Kenny met with five exceptional and inspirational Kiwi teenagers to hear their hopes and fears for the years to come.

He plans to head to England, Australia or "wherever the music business is thriving" once he completes his audio production degree.
