00:02 First of all, to begin with, let me tell you,

00:20 it's not really an impersonation that I do

00:22 or that we as Elvis tribute artists, what we call ourselves,

00:25 Elvis tribute artists do.

00:27 Our only ambition is to pay a tribute to a great entertainer,

00:30 probably the greatest entertainer in the world.

00:32 I've been doing this since about 2014 or 2015,

00:34 about five years now.

00:36 So I think it was just a natural thing that came into me.

00:38 And you know, because my family owned a music store,

00:42 so I was always exposed to a lot of music at home.

00:45 We had a lot of records those days.

00:47 And so my dad used to get home lots of music for us

00:51 to listen to all the time.

00:53 What really struck me was a film that I saw on Elvis called

00:56 Elvis, That's The Way It Is.

00:58 It was a movie made on his 1969, '70 concerts in Las Vegas.

01:05 And that was a film that really inspired me.

01:07 I saw that film about eight times.

01:09 I was probably in college just--

01:10 in college, I think, at that time.

01:12 I really became a big fan of his after seeing that movie.

01:16 That every time he sang songs, he sang it in such a way

01:19 that he made--

01:20 I mean, there were millions listening to him at the same

01:22 time, or thousands listening to him.

01:23 But he made every woman there feel

01:25 like he was singing this song to her only, and only to her.

01:28 That was his ability to sing on stage.

01:32 I was enjoying myself.

01:33 People were enjoying my show.

01:34 So I said, let me invest in a couple of costumes.

01:36 So the first one I bought was the one that Elvis

01:40 wore in 1973 in Hawaii.

01:42 It's called the American Eagle jumpsuit.

01:44 It's probably one of his most well-known,

01:46 because that was a widely televised show

01:48 all over the world.

01:49 That costume was shown all over the world.

01:50 I found the material that I thought would suit a costume.

01:53 I found buttons, different kinds of buttons, shapes,

01:56 sizes, stainless steel, various kinds of buttons,

02:00 and tassels, and belt, and more tassels to put on the belt.

02:04 And I just put it together.

02:05 I made myself a pair of white heeled boots.

02:09 Put it together and got myself a wig made.

02:11 I went to a wig maker.

02:12 I love it.

02:12 It's my passion.

02:13 And I'm so happy that God has given me the strength

02:18 to actually follow this passion.
