America’s Got Talent judges didn’t hesitate in sending Drake Milligan to the live rounds after his debut in June. On Tuesday night (Aug. 9), the accomplished country singer will rely on fans to keep him in the competition. Those tuning in for the first time may ask, “Who is Drake Milligan?”
Here is everything you need to know about Drake Milligan, including his hometown, musical influences and why he may have looked very familiar even before he appeared on AGT this spring. It turns out Howie Mandell wasn’t the first to compare him to Elvis Presley when he said he’s the “new Elvis of country.”
Milligan was 23 years old when he auditioned, but he’s since celebrated his 24th birthday. Music and performing have been a part of his life since a young age. The “Sounds Like Something I’d Do” singer referred to it during his America’s Got Talent audition, but an early concert from an Elvis Presley impersonator set him on his way. From there he learned the songs and he moves — and that famous stutter, as seen in his audition — and started to impersonate the King himself. Slowly, he began to introduce his own music.
