The Got Talent series is known for discovering talented young stars, and while some are Elvis impersonators, this story is about a unique talent who has earned high praise from Howie Mandel. Drake Milligan from Fort Worth, Texas, isnโt an impersonator, but his exceptional talent led Mandel to call him the โnew Elvis of countryย ย music.โ
Drake has been performing for years and even spent time impersonating his childhood idol, Elvis Presley. As he matured, Drake focused more on his ownย ย music, writing songs and touring with a band based in Nashville.
Now, Drake is using the Americaโs Got Talent stage to propel his career, similar to how Elvis used the southern dance circuit as his launchpad. Many singers have found success through AGT, and Drake aims to be the next.
When Drake performed his original song, โSounds Like Something Iโd Do,โ the audience and judges were captivated by his talent. His performance, peppered with a few โElvis jiggles,โ made it clear why heโs being compared to his idol. This is a fantastic audition.
