Elvis Presley has been a part of Bandra-based Siddharth Meghani’s life for as long as he can remember. He was first introduced to the flamboyant and stylish American singer as a child and today lives and breathes as an Elvis Presley impersonator. He shares, “I was introduced to Elvis by my mother and her sisters who were big Elvis fans. They came from a family that used to sing in different voices and music came very easily to them.” It was not only his mother but also his father, who was in the photography profession as a wedding photographer, that led him to discover Elvis. Attending weddings in Mumbai, Meghani was exposed to good music and Presley’s was definitely one of them, especially at Catholic weddings in the city.
