Joey Priestly is an honourable member of the A.P.E.P.T.A. (Association of Professional Elvis Presley Tribute Artist). Membership of this association is only available to those Elvis Tribute Artists who meet the high standards required of the association.
A little bit about myself, I've been impersonating Elvis from the age of 8. I can remember the first time I tried to impersonate Elvis, I can remember it just like it was yesterday. My mother and father had gone out for the evening leaving my older brother to look after me. On the TV that evening there was an Elvis concert, I watched the whole concert through, it must have had a lasting impression on me for when the concert had finished the next thing I remember was taking myself off into the kitchen and reaching for a roll of silver tin foil - the sort your mother would wrap the turkey up in at Christmas.
The next thing I know, I've got it cut into lengths fixing it to my clothing and that for me was my first Elvis suit.
Now I know this is not a glamorous story, but it is a true one. As you can see I've graduated to a professional Elvis Tribute Artist.
As you can see from my photo's I've been told I share a resemblance to Elvis enabling me to put myself across in the manner that I wish.
I try to impersonate my idol with the dignity he deserves. When I perform I sing with the passion and feeling that Elvis songs warrant.
In my opinion Elvis was a phenomenon something that will never happen again.
