Our family show in our home town of Lancaster, CA.
The very first news article.
Me and my brother Daniel, the lone Jordanaire, singing at a birthday party in Hollywood.
Here’s one from that same birthday party. I’m giving them my best Richie Valens impression. “La Bamaba” the movie was just release and I was hooked. Notice my mom with the giant RCA video camera on her shoulder.
The Elvis kids! Me and Kavan showing off some signature Elvis moves at the Images Of The King contest in Memphis, TN.
The first promo shot, “The Little Elvis staring Dean Z.”
Anyone that knows me knows that every year at Elvis Week in Memphis I perform at “the tent” across from Graceland. It’s a tradition that has been going on for nearly 20 years. Here is a picture from my first performance at the tent.
Here’s a photo from my first appearance at the Images Of The King contest in Memphis.
This is a photo from the first time I met fellow entertainer Jamie Aaron Kelly in Memphis. I have a ton of respect for this man, what a talent!
Me and my ”group” back in ‘92.
With the late Al Divorn, the man who was responsible for the famous phrase “Elvis has left the building.”
Here is a photo from the first time I met Elvis’ original drummer DJ Fontana. I believe this is from Elvis Week ‘95.
This photo was taken the very moment I met my good friend and fellow ETA, Kavan. I think we were about 6 years old here.
