Fans of The Music Man really love discovering new artists who are updating classic tunes for today’s listeners. That’s exactly what Elliot James Reay has done with his popular online videos. With his retro style and a hairstyle that looks like it’s from the 1950s, Elliot seems perfect for bringing rock ‘n’ roll back to life for modern fans. At just 22 years old, he has gained fame for his covers of songs that are over 60 years old.
Elliot really enjoys singing Elvis Presley songs, and his voice is just right for it. With his deep tone, he can sing beautifully like the best artists. One of his most popular covers is “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which has gained more than 4.2 million views in just a year. He performed a touching version of the song while sitting in front of a stunning sunset in Melbourne, playing his guitar. One viewer even said, “This might be the best version since Elvis himself.”
Elliot has made a big impact on many well-known people, not just fans of music online. Some of these people are music producer Valentine Javanoska, who predicted Elliot would become famous, broadcaster Donna Demaio, and fashion designer Dom Bagnato. Because of his success online, Elliot has even gotten a manager in Los Angeles, and his first song is coming out on July 17. So, Music Man readers, you should totally listen to Elliot’s music now so you can say you discovered him before everyone else!
Elliot has built a great career in the music industry, but a lot of fans really enjoy hearing him perform classic rock ‘n’ roll.
