Pupu’a is a world renowned operatic tenor whose unconventional path to a prestigious singing career included a detour courtesy of the NFL. He grew up in Utah after his family moved to Salt Lake City from the Kingdom of Tonga when he was 5. A football scholarship paved his way to attend Weber State University in the ’90s, where he planned to get his bachelor of music degree.
