While many people in their early 20s might not be caught dead listening to Elvis, Josuel Grech is rocking his Blue Suede Shoes all the way into the global spotlight!

Just yesterday, he made it into the top 8 during the first round of the Parkes Elvis Festival in Australia, an event that celebrates the world’s best Elvis tribute artists. Now in its 32nd edition, the festival attracts some of the finest impersonators worldwide.

Josuel is set to take on Round 2 later today, going head-to-head with the other 7 finalists for the coveted title. Fans from around the world have been flooding the event’s page with comments praising Malta’s own Josuel, calling him the 'most professional Elvis tribute artist' they’ve ever seen!

This isn’t Josuel’s first time in the spotlight – he’s been dazzling audiences with his Elvis performances since he was just 18, and it seems he’s only getting better with time!

Best of luck for the final round, Josuel!
