Shayne Prince has been on the performing circuit for just nearly four years. His vocals are alarmingly close to those of Elvis Presley and he has spent these last few years singing all around the country performing both popular classics and songs which are rarely, if indeed ever, sung by other tribute artists.
Shayne’s journey began on Friday, January 30th 2004 when he appeared on BBC1 Wales performing the Elvis song ‘Always On My Mind’. Picked from entries of over 1300 wannabes throughout Wales and three auditions later, Shayne made it through to the finals and sang to a live audience which was televised around the world. Shayne then was approached by dA records of Penarth, South Wales, who featured him on a cd based on the songs and artists of the show and was interviewed on Radio Wales in relation to the show that same month.
Shayne then took part in an Elvis Contest in London after winning the regional finals in Telford in February 2004. He made it to the final two even though he dressed only in black casuals. It was judged by Mark Goddard (U.K.’s Mr. Elvis) and David and Carrie Grant from BBC’s Fame Academy.
