Bio:
Benjamin "Lee" Klein was born on January 3, 1981, in the same week as Elvis, only 46 years later.
Growing up as the only child of musical parents, he has been singing , dancing and acting all of his life. Through the years he also learned to play drums, bass guitar, piano and acoustic guitar.
In 2002, he bought a '50's Elvis CD for his Dad Randy, who was an Elvis tribute artist before Ben was born. Then realizing his own resemblance to the young Elvis, he borrowed the CD, found movies and videos and decided to listen, watch, study and practice. Ben has the looks, the voice, the moves and more! He sincerely feels that if Elvis could say one thing to him it would be to perform his music, especially Gospel, with as much passion as he can. His desire is to do just that, while being as authentic as possible and honoring God.
