Dakota Striplin, an ex-contestant of The Voice, revealed he might be an unclaimed grandson of The King, Elvis Presley, after an electrifying blind audition performance on the show. The 27-year-old performed Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley and blew the judges' minds and audience away. One of the judges, Boy George, couldn't help but ask what made him choose the song of the greatest rock star in the world. "I've always loved Elvis so much; he's been a big idol for me since I was little," he replied and went on to reveal his connection with Elvis. "But recently, my dad actually found out that his father wasn't his biological father, and there's a lot of history with my Grandma. She used to work at Elvis concerts and apparently knew him." Elvis Presley's grandson wants an amazing career View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dakota Striplin (@dakotastriplin) Kelly Rowland asked him what he wanted from his experience at The Voice, the New Zealand born singer replied, "The Voice is such an amazing platform; since I was in High School, I've been gigging, and it would be amazing to have a career that I love doing." Dakota had been performing in small-town pubs, live television telecasts, and musicals prior to the show in 2019. Previously, he had been on America Got Talent and was sadly eliminated before the quarterfinals.

While he was on the show, he established the Elvis Presley Grandson theory when he was asked if he could be related to Elvis. "That's the running theory, he could be my grandpa." Even Kelly Rowland affirmed he actually looked like the King. His grandmother lost it when Elvis died Dakota Striplin performs on The Voice / YouTube Screenshot Dakota Striplin said his father doesn't like him talking about the theory cause it's hard to swallow. He revealed his grandma used to take his father on a lot of trips to Hawaii by himself without the other kids. "And when Elvis later passed away in life, my grandma lost it; she was drinking for weeks, wouldn't leave her room, it was kinda a big reaction to hearing about a celebrity dying." "A couple of years ago, DNA tests proved that my dad's father wasn't his biological dad; the theory is that Elvis is my granddad, that would be pretty cool," he further said.
