The Ultimate Elvis Champion
Born into a musical family, Bill was introduced to the rich sounds of southern-style gospel music at an early age by his father, a Pentecostal minister. This musical influence was one of the instant connections Bill felt to Elvis Presley.
Bill specializes in Elvis’ concert years. He takes great pride in each performance. Once on stage, he completely transforms himself into the King of Rock & Roll. With precise vocals, movements, and an uncanny physical resemblance, Bill performs with an interpretive style instantly recognizable and embraced by the audience. From the most tender love ballads to the hard-rocking show stoppers, Bill delivers each song with great energy, spirit and heart like that of his mentor.
His efforts to maintain a respectful and accurate tribute to Elvis Live on Stage has proven nothing short of successful as Bill has received numerous awards throughout his career. Prior to taking First Place at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute in Memphis, TN, Bill took First Place at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Preliminaries in Tupelo, MS. This back-to-back win proved historic as it was the first time anyone ever won the title of Ultimate Champion at both the birthplace and the hometown of Elvis Presley in the same year.
Bill has entertained Elvis fans in Australia, New Zealand, England, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Norway, Singapore, Qatar, and Canada. Today, he continues performing and touching the hearts of Elvis fans throughout the
United States and the World, headlining shows and keeping the legacy and memory of the greatest, most beloved entertainer the world has ever known, Elvis Presley—The King of Rock & Roll.
“Bill to me is the finest stylist of Elvis’ techniques. He is the closest I’ve ever seen to Elvis in the 70s era.”
—Sam Thompson, former bodyguard and brother to Elvis’ girlfriend Linda Thompson
“He’s Elvis reincarnated.”
—Norbert Putnam, former Bass studio musician who recorded no less than 122 songs with Elvis
