I was eleven when Elvis passed, yet through friends who knew him well, I feel as if I know him too. No one has influenced me more, and I’m grateful to perform his music in my own way, building a path and community around it. Elvis’s beauty went far beyond his looks—it was in his spirit, generosity, and love for people. Meeting those closest to him, from Kathy Westmoreland to Priscilla, and even recording songs written for him, has deepened that connection. Decades later, his legacy still shines in every smile, every dance, and every heart he continues to inspire.

About the song

I was eleven when Elvis passed, but the story did not end there for me. Through friends and family who knew him intimately, I have been fortunate to glimpse the man behind the legend. Their stories, laughter, and quiet reflections have allowed me to feel as though I know him too. No other figure has shaped my life as deeply—musically, culturally, and even spiritually. To perform his music today is not to imitate, but to honor his essence in my own way, building a life, a path, and a community around the gift he left us all.

Elvis’s true beauty went far beyond his appearance. It lived in his spirit, his generosity, and his unconditional love for people. He had a way of giving himself completely to his audience, creating moments where everyone felt seen and understood. Meeting those closest to him—whether it be Kathy Westmoreland, who sang by his side, or Priscilla, who shared in his most private world—has only deepened that understanding. To record songs once written for him feels like a privilege, a way of touching the creative energy that surrounded his remarkable journey.

What is most powerful, however, is how his legacy endures. Decades after his passing, Elvis’s influence can still be felt in the smallest of places: in a smile shared when his music plays, in the rhythm of feet moving instinctively to his beat, and in the hearts of fans who continue to find strength and joy in his voice. He remains more than an icon; he is a thread connecting generations, reminding us that music has the power to heal, uplift, and bring us together. And for me, that connection will always be personal, alive, and profoundly grateful.
