Cliff was born on March 13, 1972 in Kamloops, BC. Cliff has always loved to sing since he was little. He was born into a family of singers although he didn’t know it until recently. He was adopted and after meeting his biological brother 2 years ago, he discovered where his talent originated from. His biological mother and brother can both sing too. Although Cliff loves all kinds of music, it was Elvis that really intrigued him the most.
Cliff’s earliest memory of Elvis was sitting around the Christmas tree listening to an 8-track tape of the Blue Christmas album. The raw energy and emotion that Elvis conveyed in each song he sang captivated Cliff’s attention at an early age. Little did Cliff know at the time what roll Elvis would play in molding his future.
Cliff prides himself on his distinctive Elvis look. Putting together a tribute to Elvis has been a dream of his for most of his adult life, but has become his professional goal ever since attending the Penticton Elvis festival 5 years ago. Cliff is so grateful to Geoff Smith & Cactus Jacks for their support and sponsorship in the first 3 years to make competing in Penticton possible. 2006 will be Cliff’s 5th year competing at the Penticton Elvis festival. The most highlighted year of his life so far was when Sherwood Sports and the festival souvenir booth proudly presented him with a festival jacket after being awarded fan favorite for the festival of 2005, thanks to the crowd’s positive comments and responses regarding Cliff’s performances that year.
Cliff Moody is well known as “Always Elvis” on stage. His shows come with professional sound equipment when needed, and audio enhanced backing tracts. Each show can be tailored to a special theme of your choice and can include all 3 eras of Elvis, a short show of your desired length that’s comprised of a variety of Elvis songs or even just a song or two for birthday’s, anniversaries or any other special occasion. All shows include authentic costumes of any era desired. Cliff also does an uncanny imitation, with dress and vocal presentations of Dwight Yoakam that he sometimes adds into his shows, but he is especially dedicated to his professional tribute to Elvis.
Cliff’s a very sincere artist and his velvety-smooth voice captivates and stimulates his audience in evoking memories of the king. Cliff prides himself in keeping Elvis’ memory alive by imitating his look, style and sound in a very charismatic way that excites his audience into thunderous applause. Cliff’s sincere love for Elvis and the music he created is evident with every gyration and pelvic thrust Cliff performs on stage.
Cliff Moody is pleased to represent Kamloops by being the local Elvis and is proud to perform at most major events in the city.
