Meet Mark Summers...
Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, Mark Summers grew up surrounded by the sounds of Rock ’n’ Roll. With Elvis Presley playing constantly on his mother’s side of the family and Buddy Holly favourites from his father, music was part of everyday life from the very beginning.
From an early age, Mark became fascinated by Elvis Presley — captivated by the voice, the charisma, the style and the legendary stage presence of the King himself. By the age of just 10, Mark was already bringing a record player into school and introducing classmates to the music of Elvis.
After leaving school, Mark went on to study Drama and Music at Drama College, where performing on stage and screen quickly became second nature. Following several years working in theatre and entertainment, Mark auditioned for his first professional Elvis contract in Cyprus in 2005.
Originally booked for just six months, the show rapidly became one of the island’s biggest entertainment attractions. Due to overwhelming demand, Mark was soon performing up to three shows per night, six nights a week — firmly establishing himself as one of the UK’s rising Elvis tribute performers.
Following several successful years performing in Cyprus, new opportunities soon led Mark back to the UK, where he quickly established himself as one of the country’s leading Elvis tribute performers, working with top entertainment companies, theatres and booking agents nationwide.
Mark was later invited to portray Young Elvis in the official BBC theatre production of The World’s Greatest Elvis — a major milestone that further cemented his growing reputation within the industry.
Building on that success, Mark went on to create his own full-scale Elvis production, touring extensively across the UK and internationally. In 2013, he was crowned the UK’s Official Number One Elvis Tribute Artist at the prestigious National Tribute Music Awards — the first of multiple award-winning achievements.
Over the years, Mark has had the privilege of working alongside many of Elvis Presley’s original musicians, movie co-stars, members of the legendary Memphis Mafia and even the Presley family themselves.
Mark has also performed throughout Europe alongside renowned producer Markus Henfling, appearing at major Elvis events, theatres and international productions.
Today, Mark Summers is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading Elvis tribute artists and one of the top-selling international Elvis acts performing on the global stage.
From London’s prestigious West End theatres to appearances in Memphis at the legendary Graceland, Mark has captivated audiences worldwide with his authentic tribute to the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.
In recent years, Mark has gone on to produce and headline several major international tours and theatre productions, performing across Singapore, the Caribbean, the USA, India and throughout Europe, among many other destinations worldwide.
His continued success and dedication to preserving the music and legacy of Elvis Presley led to Mark being crowned the UK’s Official Number One Elvis Tribute Artist not once, but three times at the National Tribute Music Awards — firmly establishing him as one of the most respected Elvis performers in the industry today.
