Louis Verna Sutherland By Olivia Seymour

Louis Verna Sutherland

Louis Verna Sutherland was born on the 19^th of Janruary 2000 at 2:00 am at Hutt Hospital. His parents are Ellen and Paul Sutherland. Louis attended East Harbour Kindergarten until he was 4 years old, and then went on to Muritai School as a new entrant, shadowing his older brother Austin Sutherland who was a year 3 at the time. Louis lives in Eastbourne Lower Hutt and is still curently living there, he has lived in 2 houses in Eastbourne. Eastbourne is a small place across from situated on the Wellington Harbour.

When Louis was in Year 1 his teacher was Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Buckley who he enjoyed having when he was little. Louis remembers when he was dropped of at school he used to cry because his Mum was leaving him. 

At the age of 7 or 8 Louis developed a strong interset in music, but Louis didn’t seem to like the modern music at the time. He started to become very fond of 70’s and 80’s music such as: The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix and Deep Purple. Louis says, “I love all of these bands and find them extrememly inspirational.”

Louis hobbies are music, acting, basketball, paintball and football. Louis loves to cook, his favourite things to bake are cakes. He is currently in a band called “The Bumnotes” and is also in the school band. In their band, they play rock music. 

Louis is Scottish, Kiwi, Italian, English but mostly German. His middle name “Verna” is German which was given by his Great Grandfather. 

Louis describes his personality as a funny, wacky, talkative, caring, respectful and a nice person. I think most of these are true. Louis mentioned to me that the Beatles changed his whole way of thinking about music. 

I asked Louis what his proudest moment was and he replied ‘The day I was in Auckland and performed my own song that I wrote in front of 900 people, I felt really proud of myslef’ He is very brave. In the future Louis would like to be in a well known band, and if that doesn’t work out, he would like to be an actor. Louis has a long life ahead of him and I’m pretty sure he will succeed in his future.
