Nils Strassburg—Singer, Producer, Author, and Passionate Entertainer

The stage is his home; the music of Elvis Presley is his great passion. When
Nils Strassburg takes the stage, the energy of rock ’n’ roll, an unmistakable voice,
and a love of entertainment come together. With his stage presence, his humor, and
his connection with the audience, he captivates longtime Elvis fans as well as people who
are just discovering this music for the first time.

Born in Burlington, Vermont, and now living in the Stuttgart area,
Strassburg has made a name for himself internationally as a singer, producer, and author.
In 2012, he was honored by Time Warner as the “Best Elvis Impersonator.” His career
has taken him to numerous stages, including in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and
France. Among the special highlights are sold-out concerts at the legendary
Olympia in Paris. Television appearances on networks such as ZDF, ARD, and the French
broadcaster TF1 introduced him to a wider audience.

Strassburg has appeared in various Elvis musicals and Elvis revues while simultaneously developing
his own artistic style. As a producer and creative force behind his own
stage productions, he brings together his visions of music, dramaturgy, and entertainment.
This includes, in particular, his hit production “The Musical Story of Elvis,”
in which he brings the musical journey and history of the King of Rock ’n’ Roll to life.
His deep engagement with Elvis extends far beyond the singer’s famous
stage performances. He is fascinated by the spirit of optimism in the early years, the grand
scale of the Las Vegas concerts, and the singer’s personal, often vulnerable side.
Moving between raw rock ’n’ roll, soulful ballads, country, and gospel, Strassburg demonstrates
just how versatile this music remains to this day. Yet he remains recognizable as an artist in his own right:
passionate, approachable, and with a sure instinct for when a grand show moment
is called for and when just a voice and a quiet song are enough.

With his book *Living Elvis – My Life for the King*, published in 2026,
Strassburg also opens the door to his own story. He recounts his fascination with
Elvis, his journey to the stage, and the personal challenges behind the
spotlight. His live album “Living Elvis – Live in Paris at the Olympia”
captures the energy that arises from the interaction between his band and the audience.
