About Greg Raposo

Born 1985. Greg Raposo is an American musician, actor and singer.

Gregory Frank Raposo, known professionally as Greg Raposo (born May 3, 1985), "The Elvis Kid" performed everywhere, including with The Jordanaires and DJ Fontana who were Elvis' real backup band. Greg was the only child invited to perform at Graceland for the 20th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death by Priscilla Presley.

In 1996, Raposo auditioned for 'Broadway on Broadway', an extravaganza of Broadway performers. Greg got the honor of being the opener for the show and sang an original composition in front of fifty-thousand people. After opening for 'Broadway on Broadway', he was cast in an off-Broadway singing group called "The Broadway Kids", with whom he recorded two albums. During his time in The Broadway Kids Greg met Chris Trousdale. In 1998, both boys successfully auditioned for a group called "Boy Wonder". "Boy Wonder" was disbanded for lack of interest from sponsors. Raposo and Trousdale were later reunited for Dream Street.

Raposo was also involved with several charity and anti-substance abuse groups. This included: The Kids for Kids Project, Audrey Hepburn/Children's Fund, Young Plaza Ambassadors Club, Jerry's Kids, and Variety, the Children's Charity. Raposo claims that Kids for Kids was the most fulfilling thing he has ever participated in.

1999–2002: Rise to fame and Dream Street

Originally named 'Boy Wonder' (a name borrowed from the nickname of comic book character Robin from the Batman comics and films), Dream Street was put together by music producers Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow in 1999. Raposo along with Trousdale were already a shoo-in for the Dream Street auditions since they were the original member of 'Boy Wonder'. After casting two-hundred boys, Jesse McCartney, Frankie J. Galasso, and Matt Ballinger joined the group.

Their eponymous debut album was released on July 10, 2001. It was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA peaking No. 1 on Billboard'''s Independent Albums chart and at No. 37 on the Billboard 200. The songs, "It Happens Every Time" and "I Say Yeah" were frequently played on Radio Disney. The boys soon made appearances to perform on various talk shows and television events including Maury and Ricki Lake.

While the rising success of Dream Street was growing, tensions between the music producers and the boys' parents also arise. This led to a lawsuit that would force the members to disband in 2002. The final Dream Street release was the soundtrack album to the 2002 film The Biggest Fan, which starred Trousdale. Raposo has appeared as himself in the film as well.

The music video for his first independent single, "That Day", was produced in New York City and released online on May 15, 2012. Reviews have praised "Loss, Love, Life" for being "genuine" and "not sounding like a slightly older boy band." In the summer of 2012, Raposo featured on the Rock Camp Tour around New York, New Jersey, and Long Island. It was around this time when Raposo and his girlfriend decided to change to an “open” relationship. There is speculation that she had developed feelings for one of Raposo's old band members
