Elvis Presley Bio

Elvis Aaron Presley is an iconic American singer and actor who is often referred to as “The King of Rock and Roll” or “The King.” He was born in 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a close-knit working-class family to Vernon and Gladys Presley.

The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Presley was 13, and he began his music career there at the age of 19. Elvis achieved unprecedented fame with his hit singles Heartbreak Hotel and Love Me Tender in 1956.
