E'Casanova, Michael Jackson award - winning tribute artist
A Versatile Entertainer
It is said,that somewhere in the world there is someone ,who looks exactly like each of us, our perfect double. Most of us will never know who that person is however, E’CASANOVA does and that likeness has garnered him recognition as the World’s Greatest Tribute Artist. On stage CAS pays homage to the King of Pop Michael Jackson and has thrilled sell-out audiences around the world with the same powerful music, dance and special effects as the legendary musical icon.
Although E’CASANOVA admires Jackson, and is a Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 historian, he is a singer, songwriter, actor, and producer in his own right. He acknowledges that looking like Michael Jackson has certainly opened doors. When not performing his tribute show, over the past several years E'CASANOVA has produced and choreographed many production shows and concerts in theaters, studios, and dance halls around the world. Portraying the role of Michael Jackson, a pop icon of the twentieth century, requires extraordinary singing and dancing talent in addition to looking like the superstar. His innate talent combined with natural charisma makes E’CASANOVA the World’s Greatest rendition of Michael Jackson.
Immediately following Jackson's untimely passing in 2009, E'CASANOVA felt as though an entire half of him had died and could not continue performing. In fact, he took a 2 year break from the stage contemplating if he'd ever return.
"Michael Jackson was my greatest inspiration, the soundtrack to my life, and is forever embedded in my DNA. He is the last of the great song and dance men. More importantly, he was my friend. I will forever continue to protect the integrity of his legend."
After reluctantly hosting the premiere of Michael's blockbuster film, "THIS IS IT," CAS had an epiphany and knew now that his true calling was to continue, but as the "Messenger" magnifying Michael's final wish through his worldwide stella performances, to help save our suffering planet.
Testimonials
In Las Vegas E’CASANOVA became the “must see” act on The Strip with stints in several production extravaganza’s and his talents are currently featured as part of one of the most successful shows in history. VH1 captured the unique life of E’CASANOVA during a three-day shoot in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York that includes behind the scenes footage as well as that of his spectacular King of Pop Tribute show. His notoriety placed CAS front and center to organize Michael Jackson Day in Las Vegas on October 25, 2003 as a way for the fans of the King of Pop to show their appreciation. CAS presented the Key to the City to Michael Jackson himself and the Mayor of Las Vegas authorized a Proclamation. CAS was asked to perform for our US Troops and he humbly accepted. The adventure took him to Afghanistan, Kuwait, Japan, Dubai and Abu Dhabi where he was honored with a certificate of appreciation from each base.
In an episode of Ashton Kutcher's PUNKD' on the MTV network, CAS punked platinum recording artist Frankie J into believing that he was Michael Jackson.
Born in Los Angeles, because of his Mom’s influence, CAS was introduced to the reruns of the Jackson 5 cartoons and became fascinated with them at a very young age. As his interest grew into his teen years many people started telling CAS that he resembled Michael Jackson. At the age of 16, he knew he wanted to pursue a show business career and began competing in talent contests. After winning these contests over and over again with his tribute to Michael Jackson CAS found his niche.
“I don’t think I’m him,” says E'CASANOVA, “I’m not an impersonator. That’s a word I deny. I’m an actor playing a role.”
But when E’CASANOVA is playing that part, jaws drop, goose bumps form, and tears fall as he delivers the most compelling and authentic rendition of Michael Jackson the world has ever seen. Audiences become mesmerized as he brings the essence of The King of Pop to life right in front of their eyes. Critics around the world readily admit to the astounding resemblance portrayed in his tribute show. In March 2007, CAS was invited to perform in Japan at a prestigious VIP party in honor of Michael Jackson. It was Michael's first time ever seeing CAS perform in person, to which Michael remarked “it’s eerie...like looking in a mirror.”
