Biography
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

As a child I was introduced to Elvis at the age of 3.  I would flip over a bucket and stand on it with a fly swatter!  The fly swatter made a great microphone and an equally fantastic guitar, while the bucket made a great stage!  Even at a young age I was more fascinated by the mature, sophisticated Elvis where he made the audience “feel” his passion and sent his fans into a state of frenzy or brought them to tears.  I don’t remember a time that I wasn’t singing.  I sang and acted my entire school career. While my mother loved Elvis and my father loved Motown, it was my grandfather who inspired me to take a chance on my God given talent.  Shortly after high school graduation, I got “bit” by the karaoke bug and it was during a performance, with grandpa’s persuasiveness, that I discovered my future!  I attribute all of my successes to God and I am so grateful for the support from my family and friends who continually encourage me to share my talent.

Always the professional, I am true to my art and fully respect Elvis’ legacy by wearing replica jumpsuits and performing as a tribute artist.  I am well studied in the authenticity of Elvis’ moves, spoken words, stage performances and his vocal ability.  I perform what many fans refer to as “The Jumpsuit Elvis” because you can sing it all!  You’re not limited.  But for me personally, I prefer that era because I truly appreciate Elvis’ vocal dynamics, admire the passion Elvis delivered when he immersed himself into a song and thoroughly enjoy the energy and theatrics of the 70’s stage presentations.  There was only one Elvis Presley and I am honored to pay my tribute to the man “who would be King”.

Sincerely,
