Darren H Presley draws his inspiration from a variety of musical influences, the main one being none other than the king of rock 'n' roll himself, Mr Elvis Presley, also Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, even Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, these are just a few.
Darren literally can & does perform all genres of music, spanning from the 1950's right through early to mid 2000. His amazing talent wows audiences wherever he goes.
He truly sings with all his heart & soul, displaying such passion that you cannot help but feel moved!
Darren has an abundance of experience within theatre, holiday parks, hotels & also the corporate sector too.
He has appeared on multiple TV platforms over the years & performed at some very prestigious venues such as the NEC Birmingham, The Winter Gardens Eastbourne, Elstree Studios Hertfordshire,
Spinnaker Tower Southampton, Tregenna Castle Cornwall and many of the major theatres throughout the UK.
Along the way Darren had also become Europe's only John Travolta tribute/look/sound and dance alike. This really elevated his profile immensely, setting the stage for much bigger things that were to come in the not so distant future!
Darren is one of the original "old school" Elvis tribute artiste & has been dazzling audiences far & wide for many years!
He is fully established within the business & recognised for his work not just in the UK but also across the world!
Darren tours extensively across the UK & beyond with his highly energised & interactive shows. He is available as a solo performer or with a 'live' band. Past appearances have included ITV, Channel 4, Italian TV & various pop videos for artistes including Sleeper, Fever and rapper Tippa Irie, these are to name but a few!
He successfully toured the UK college & University circuit as the frontman of the highly acclaimed "Greased Lightning" tribute band.
Recently he won the unique two part contest which took place in May 2023 in London called "Mr Songman" & "Behind The Curtain: UK Voice Of Elvis".
Past touring theatre shows have included multiple tours with the world famous "The True Voice Of Elvis" Mr Doug Church direct from the USA. Darren is in fact the only UK/European tribute artiste to have ever toured regularly with Mr Doug Church, which led to him being taken over to the USA as the show opening support act for Doug....
Other shows include:
"Mama Mia - Thankyou For The Music",
"Rock Around With Grease",
ELVIS: "That's The Way It Was"
ELVIS: "Through The Years".
