Jon Burrows was born
in October 1964, in Hampshire, England. He was raised in the beautiful
countryside surrounding the New Forest, where he lived until he
relocated to live in London in 1992.
At the early age of
six, Jon first saw and heard Elvis Presley and even though he was
just a small boy Jon knew that there was something special about
Elvis that touched his whole being.
Through his childhood,
adolescence and into adulthood Jon’s admiration for Elvis
has continually grown - both for the man and his music.
Jon has always had a
natural ability to entertain and he possesses a God given talent
for performing.
At the age of 10 Jon
regularly performed in his school’s weekly entertainment assembly,
singing Elvis songs, and playing guitar. Outside of school he continued
to perform his music for the local community at various functions
and charity events.
When Jon left school
he started work as a truck driver. He drove for many different companies
during his late teens and early twenties but no matter where he
was working he was always called “Elvis”, on account
of his natural looks.
Jon’s likeness
to Elvis was always commented on, no matter where he went, no matter
what he was doing - and that was without hearing him sing a note.
Jon’s natural
likeness to Elvis goes beyond his looks.
Jon’s voice has an uncanny likeness to that of Elvis’
So much so that, on many occasions, he has been accused of miming
- and people are left amazed when Jon proves that everything about
his act is real. It is a pleasure to listen to Elvis’ songs
delivered in such a professional way, and justice is done to them
every time.
There will only ever
be one Elvis Presley, and Jon will be one of the first to admit
this, as a true Elvis fan himself.
However, Elvis fans
that have seen Jon perform are amazed by what they see - the natural
looks and the movements and by what they hear. Non Elvis fans are
won over by Jon’s performances, not because they see and hear
the likeness to Elvis, but because of Jon’s own personality
and stage presence, that shine through in every show.
With Jon’s natural
looks, voice, personality and talent he is the Ultimate and Definitive
Elvis Tribute Artist
And
SEEING REALLY IS BELIEVING
