A young Mahurangi rock musician is taking part in a nationwide ‘buskathon’ to help fundraise for people with disabilities.

Mahurangi College student Riley Popham is offering to record songs for people for donations to support the StarJam Buskathon. The 13-year-old has a repertoire of over 60 songs, but will also learn and record new songs for a donation to the cause.

StarJam is a charity that works with young people with disabilities. The organisation helps over 350 people participate in musical workshops in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Tauranga each week.

The individual who raises the most money by October 31 will win a one-day recording session at Stebbing Recording Studio in Auckland.
