The King will always be alive in the mind of Mathieu Nardi

From the age of eight, Mathieu Nardi has been singing the successful songs of the King, beginning to learn how to dance like him. Every night, he watches the videos and films of the King and learns his movements and songs. When he turned ten, he wanted to take guitar lessons because his ultimate goal was to imitate his idol. Normally a reserved person, he unravels when personifying Elvis.

Last summer, Mathieu signed seven contracts to participate in country festivals throughout Quebec and Ontario. In August, he took part in the biggest gathering of Elvis Presley world fans in Collingwood, Ontario. He met some actresses who appeared in films with Elvis and also met some of the star’s personal friends.

On October 25, Mathieu Nardi will perform for D.J. Fontana, Elvis’ frist drummer, with whom he recorded 460 songs. Mathieu will finish 2008 year with a super project. He will participate in the recording of a Christmas CD with other artists, and will sing two classic Christmas pieces that Elvis sang.

In August 2006, Mathieu Nardi’s dream came true. He visited Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. He visited the Sun Studio and went to Tupelo, Elvis Presley’s birthplace.

A native of LaSalle, Mathieu Nardi is the son of Diane Garand and Giuseppe Nardi of LaSalle. Mathieu has a brother, Francis.
