In August 2012, Ben Portsmouth made history when he won the Elvis Presley Enterprises ‘Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest’ which took place in Memphis, crowning Ben as the ‘Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist’, the only artist from outside the USA to ever win this prestigious title.
Ben, a multi-talented musician, singer and songwriter had music in his blood from an early age. His father was an avid Elvis fan and Ben grew up on a diet of his songs. Having honed his musical talent, Ben started his journey as a Tribute Artist in 2005 when he formed the “Taking Care of Elvis” band. Audiences quickly realized that this was someone with a special talent.
He looked like Elvis, sang like him and had an on-stage charisma that had audiences believing at times they were watching the King himself. This talent saw Ben rapidly rise through the ranks of Elvis Tribute Artists.
This success has led to offers from US promoters and all over the world for Ben to headline shows. Ben’s career in Europe has also taken off where he is playing on the biggest stages to audiences across Europe that are measured in thousands.
Fans from all over the world declare Ben Portsmouth as the closest they have ever seen to Presley. Social media forums are overwhelmed with fans demanding his return to their country.
Internationally renowned as one, if not The Best Elvis Tribute in the world today, Ben Portsmouth will bring his unique style, charisma and a 10-piece band and will show audiences why he is regarded as the best in the business. You will see the live performance that left David Letterman at a loss for words exclaiming, “Oh my God, Oh my God!” when Ben headlined his show in February of 2013
