BEN THOMPSON

At 5 years old, Ben discovered Elvis Presley. As he grew, so did his love of The King. By age of 15 Ben had started appearing as his idol, learning his moves, his manner and perfecting the vocals. His talent has taken him all over the world, including Australia, Europe and America to name a few.
Ben has competed in several competitions, winning 5 titles and in 2018 he was crowned the 2018 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion of Graceland by Elvis Presley Enterprises. His other titles includes being the original winner of Europe's Tribute To Elvis in 2013 and the first international winner of Tupelo's Ultimate Elvis Contest. He was also presented with 'the key to the city' of Tupelo from Tupelo's very own Mayor at the time.
​One of many highlights of Ben's career is to have performed on stage alongside Elvis' original backing singers 'The Sweet Inspirations' on various occasions. He was also privileged to have starred as Elvis in the 2017 Sequel film Bladerunner 2049, alongside Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.
Ben now tours the world performing in theatres, arena's and at music festivals as Elvis Presley and demonstrating his ability to be one of the only few ETA's that can successfully portray all era's of The Kings Career.
Becoming officially endorsed by Elvis Presley Enterprises was a great honour and proved that all the hard work, time and dedication Ben has and continues to give his career paid off. His priority is always keeping the memory of Elvis Presley alive in the most authentic and respectful way.
