Michael Jackson
E'Casanova
- Las Vegas
With a name like E'Casanova you'd have to attract attention. And if you're recreating the role of Michael Jackson in a show like "Legends in Concert," you'd have to have a lot of talent singing, dancing as well as look like the superstar as he does.
Sometimes, portraying Michael Jackson is easier than being E'Casanova. Not only has he suffered countless jokes comparing him to the notorious Italian lover of the 1700s, he has also been queried about his first name. "I've had problems with my name all of my life," he says, "People are always asking me what the E stands for. So I tell them: I was named after my father, Exavier Casanova Evans. But my parents didn't want me to have a long name, so they shortened it to E'Casanova Evans." As he grew up and pursued a show business career, he discovered that his name was still too long for marquee billing. Enter E'Casanova.
He describes his performance as "a tribute to Michael Jackson" but says he has no desire to moonwalk in the superstar's well-healed loafers. "I have my own identity," he says. "I've never had any plastic surgery to make me look like Michael and, although looking like him has turned out to be a stepping stone for me, I have my own music, dance steps and concepts. I definitely like doing my own thing."
Born in Los Angeles, he became fascinated with the Jackson Five family (especially the then 8-year'old Michael) while still a toddler. "Jackson Five was a young, positive group and my morn thought they would be good role models for me,' he says.”I began mimicking Michael when I was 3 years old and became obsessed with imitating him.
At age 19, E'Casanova began competing in dance contests, consistently winning with his Michael Jackson imitation. After appearing in another production show on the Las Vegas Strip for a year, he joined "Legends In Concert."
