Bio

Jake was born December 31st, 1991 in Saginaw, Michigan. He grew up for the first 13 years in a small farming community in the Saginaw river valley. Jake lived, worshiped and attended school in St.Charles, Michigan. Life was pretty simple with a go-cart, shooting guns, playing with his dog, and working on old cars in the garage with his Grandpa. An Elvis fan since 6 or 7 years old, his interest in Elvis came when his Grandparents acquired the internet. Listening to an internet 50's radio station when the Elvis song "Hound Dog" came on, he was hooked.  Jake began buying Elvis CDs and watched them in any moment of spare time. 

At the age of 13, Jake made an important move North to Bellaire, the same as Elvis did from Tupelo to Memphis all those years ago.  This move proved to be a turning point, and the doors of opportunity were soon opened for Jake and his career as an Elvis tribute artist. 

After singing for friends and family, in late summer of 2008 Jake started performing for the public. Since then he's performed for audiences of all sizes, sell-out shows, and major competitions like the Saginaw Kingfest where he won the Early Years contest, 2nd place in Vegas Years, and will be a featured artist in the 2011 competition.
