My name is Richie Santa and i am a professional singer / Elvis tribute artist based out of Staten Island New York . My career started over twenty five years ago. I have performed well over one thousand shows ranging from weddings / corporate / concerts etc....I have covered such artist as Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Bocelli, Frankie Vali, Aerosmith , Journey, etc... The list goes on and on, but my favorite entertainer has always been Elvis. He is the reason i became a performer.It was his influence that has lead me to a career in entertainment. I have been an Elvis fan since the age of eight and although i enjoy singing songs by other artist i can truly say that nothing gives me as much pleasure as singing a song by the KING. He has had a major impact in my life. So for me it is an honor to do a tribute the greatest performer to ever grace a stage. There will never be another Elvis Presley. He lit the torch all we can do is try and keep it burning
