“Music was pretty much in my blood,” notes Ted Torres. Born in the Bronx, New York but raised in Florida, both his parents were entertainers often on the road. He was introduced to Elvis Presley’s music by his father. “Something just drew me in to it,” he remembers. At age 22 he entered an Elvis Presley singing competition which led to him performing as The King fulltime. An early highlight was the opportunity to record Elvis songs at Memphis’s legendary Sun Studios for a movie production. For Ted, it’s more than merely singing Elvis’s songs. “People tell me I really embody Elvis onstage; that comes from the acting part of me,” he acknowledges. “It’s incredible to be able to make people feel good with that music and touch them.”
