Insanely Talented 8-Year-Old Elvis Tribute Artist Says He Feels ‘Elvis In My Soul’
on Jan 11, 2017
One of the youngest Elvis Presley “tribute artists” around lights up the stage of The Ellen Show with a captivating performance of one of The King’s biggest hits!
Talented 8-year-old Finley makes it a point to differentiate his work from that of “Elvis Impersonators,” clarifying he pays tribute to The King because there is and will always only be one Elvis Presley. Finley began playing the guitar at age four and quickly became drawn to Presley while on a family vacation.
“We were going on a family vacation and I saw a billboard of Elvis,” he recalls. “I went home and looked him up, but whenever I was lookin’ him up, I just felt Elvis in my soul.”
Finley competes all over the country against his fellow tribute artists. While the young boy may feel a spiritual connection to Presley, their appearances differ vastly. Finley dyes his hair and eyebrows from a light blonde that he describes as the “brightest blonde you’ll ever see.”
Donning Elvis-esque clothing, the young entertainer proceeds to perform an amazing rendition of “Blue Suede Shoes,” showcasing some of The King’s signature dance moves.
