Bio
Hey, I'm William Young. I have been an Elvis fan since the age of 5. I have been performing as Elvis since 2012. I didn't start competing until 2014. I love the 70s Elvis!! I have even been told I pay the most Authentic Tribute to Elvis in 1977. I have studied this concert for so long that I know every facial expression every hand movement and even his mannerism. Who knows, maybe I will even start working on 50s Elvis as well. Who knows?
I recently started paying a tribute to Cher and Conway Twitty, as well! For my Cher tribute, I don’t dress up as a woman to look like her; I pay my own tribute to her as a man singing her songs as myself! My mom has even created a whole Cher outfit for me that I use whenever I pay tribute to her!
For 2021, I am planning on doing a one-man show tour. I will be paying tribute to Elvis Presley and Cher. I am also going to be doing a comedy part of show dressed up as Mad TVs own Miss Swan!!

I also hosted the 2017 Tweed Elvis Festival Gospel Hour. I was honoured to host the 2018 and 2019 Tweed Elvis Festival Gospel Hours as well. The year was the first year I ever competed at Flaming Star. But let me tell you, it was an experience I'll never forget! Flaming star was the first Elvis Festival where I was crowned the Grand Champion as a Non-professional! It truly is a great honour to be their Non-Professional Champion! I would have not been able to do it if it was not for Elvis, and the talent and ability I was blessed with to perform as Elvis.
