He won the competition after his second appearance and said the experience was “nerve-wracking” but “amazing” at the same time.

Speaking about his triumph, the Weston-Super-Mare-born musician said: “I went to Memphis, the home of Elvis, earlier this month. I was at the Graceland Complex for the competition.

“I have been a fan since the age of four and I started doing shows when I was 13.

“I started singing in local pubs around Weston then attended Elvis Festivals and competitions, my first being The Porthcawl Elvis festival that I won aged 16.

“To be in the competition was a nervous experience but this time I felt a little more confident than the previous time I was there two years ago. It was nerve-wracking but amazing.

“I recently sold out two shows at The Playhouse and am also hosting my first Elvis festival, ‘Elvis, Raised on Rock’ at The Grand Pier, Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday 18, January 2025, tickets are available and selling well.”
