Dakota Striplin was a contestant on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent who is assumed to be a long-lost grandson of Elvis Presley.
New Zealand is where this vocalist, Dakota Striplin, was born. He’s been a successful musician for more than five years. His performances have ranged from small-town pubs to expert musicals and live television telecasts.
His audition, which comprised singing You’re the One That I Want from Grease, was never broadcast live. Although it’s unclear if he was buzzed, Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted Yes, forwarding Dakota to the Judge Cuts round.
Striplin’s Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1208 comprised of his singing and playing the guitar to Elvis Presley’s I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.
Dakota’s output was insufficient for the jury to send him to the Quarterfinals, and instead of Puddles Pity Party, he was eliminated from the contest along with Sammulous.
Is Dakota Striplin Related To Elvis Presley?
Dakota Striplin is thought to be related to the well-known musician Elvis Presley.
His father was born while his grandmother worked for Elvis Presley in Hawaii. According to the results of a DNA test, Dakota’s father was not specifically correlated to his siblings, so the family dug deeper.
Dakota’s grandparents died before the test results were completed, which could be true or false. But one thing is certain: there is a striking resemblance between Elvis and Dakota.
