I want to bring to your attention that we have a most wonderful entertainer that lives and sings among us, right here in Cornwall, Ontario. He is a really good friend of mine and his name is Jonny Yumang.

Jonny met me several years ago whilst recording a couple of his original songs. They were produced by John Lister of www.fingermanstudios.ca I was asked to provide some of the background vocals doing the "Oohs and Ahhs" on one of Jonny's songs called, "Ain't No Thang like a Beautay." I was and still am so excited and pleased to have been a part of a produced song.

Jonny will be competing at the 2014Collingwood Elvis Festival. He decided to enter this year since it is the 20th Anniversary of the festival. Jonny was born in Manila, moved to Montreal with his family for his education and then went on to graduate from Concordia University. He now resides here in Cornwall. Jonny is a local Entertainer and KJ (karaoke jockey) in Eastern Ontario, including Cornwall and Western Quebec. He just has that "Elvis sound" down to an art.

Jonny was previously dubbed, "Montreal's Asian Elvis" by The Mirror. He loves to sing in a variety of vocal styles, including Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdink, Frank Sinatra, lots of the oldies, some country and gospel as well. He is also a featured Elvis Presley Tribute Artist. Jonny is charismatic and really loves to interact in front of a live audience. He has performed at several venues in and around Cornwall, including several of the seniors homes and organizations, singing songs from Yesteryear.

You can. hire Jonny for your next Birthday Party, Family Picnic, Anniversary or find out What's Going On Next with -Jonny Yumang- on Reverbnation, YouTube or on Facebook. Jonny said, "Elvis always dazzles every audience and fans continue to grow with the next generation; Elvis will always be the King. No matter what the results are, in Collingwood, it is a privilege to be participating in this wonderful cultural and annual event.'' I said, "I'm All Shook Up."
