THE BEST ELVIS PRESLEY ACT FEATURED ON TV & RADIO
JD King has become a regular and top-rated TV & radio guest as Elvis
Famed for his fantastic impression of Elvis Presley, he is not just a huge Elvis fan and one of the top Elvis lookalikes. He is also very charismatic and highly knowledgeable, leading to regular appearances on radio and television not just as the best Elvis impersonator but as an expert on Elvis Presley’s life.
Elvis Presley is considered the most significant cultural force in twentieth-century popular music. He was the first rock ‘n’ roll superstar. Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977, at the young age of 42, yet no other entertainer of this generation has come close to having such an impact on society.
It’s been nearly 40 years since the King left us, but his legacy lives on through his music, movies and countless impersonators who are still paying homage to America’s music legend. One of those impersonators is JD King, who has been performing as Elvis for over 15 years and is often named Europe’s best tribute act.
“As the son of West End musical star and grandson of famous Australian TV star Ed (Best known as Matt Hammond, the ranger from Skippy the Bush Kangaroo), JD was always destined to be a star. He’s handsome, dedicated and charming as he is talented.”
