As you can see, I started my singing career early, i first walked on stage at the age of 4 years old, at Beesons Holiday Camp, in Torquay.I went on to do 2 shows a day, for 2 weeks, every year, for 7 years, our holiday was provided free too.

Even in those days, i used to do my Elvis act, aswell as taking off other stars, such as:

Michael Jackson

Chuck Berry

Tom Jones

Donny Osmond

I would often go on stage, and play guitar, singing songs i had written or well known rock n roll tunes, that always got the people up and dancing.

I carried on singing and doing my Elvis show, into my teens, though my other great love was horses, so i became an apprentice jockey.

I won a few races, but decided to give my singing another shot.
It took 2 years to train my voice to be deep enough to sound like Elvis and i always beleive, that to be able to perform a good tribute, i would have to master the look and more importantly, the voice.

After straining my vocal chords, over and over again, i started to unleash my act on unsuspecting audiences, much to there suprise.

Since then, things have gone from strengh to strengh, being invited to perform for E.P.I.I.A. of America, as the only LADY Elvis from UK.
I returned to Las Vegas and Cicago for 5 years running, with great response from the Elvis fans there.

I was fortunate to have D J Fontana (Elvis' drummer) and Charlie Hodge backing me for my shows.
Also, it was great to meet and work with some lovely guys..
Doug Church, Ray Guillimette,Michael Antony, Mike Albert, Ross Henderson.. well the list goes on.

With this kind of show, being sincere and genuine are the most important aspects, after that, my voice has to be as good as it can be and then, its the awkward struggle to get my hair into the right shape, it takes at least 1 hour.
