My Life as a Tribute Artist Hello, my name is Phil Solis and I am a professional Dean Martin Tribute Artist. I say "professional" because I do get paid for performing as a Dean Martin Impersonator and I do take the work very seriously. Why Dean Martin? I grew up with a Mom that loved Dean Martin. We watched all his Television shows like the Dean Martin Show, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, and all the Christmas specials. The music of Dean Martin was often heard in the house and my Mom would get a kick whenever I would try to do a Dean Martin Impression. So, I guess I started very young and then as I grew older I really developed a fond appreciation of the man known as the king of cool. I soon found myself in radio, doing several comedic songs on the Dr. Demento show which aired every Sunday night on KMET. In college I studied theater and took vocal lessons. I sing in Deans key and I use many of his iconic techniques. I started by performing in small venues as Dean Martin and eventually found myself appearing in a Rat Pack show complete with a Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. impersonators. I'm not going to lie, I have since grown addicted to the applause and laughs. This is a real dilemma for me because I really don't want my focus to be on what others think of me but at the same time I want to put on one hell of a show! Working with pro's like Alfredo Miller, Vaughn Suponatime, Nick DeGidio and Laymon Davis has been great for my ego and I owe them so much in what each has taught me.I also have formed my own band called The Black Derby Band. Many changes have occurred since I started in "the business" and there have been challenges. I'll write more about those in future blogs. But for now I just wanted to give you a feel of what I am all about. Dean Martin Bio Dean Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti, on June 7, 1917, in Steubenville, Ohio. He was known for being a crooner and actor. He partnered with comedian Jerry Lewis, of one of the most popular comedy teams on stage and television and in motion pictures for 10 years. Martin then moved on to a successful solo career as a singer, an actor, and a television variety show host. During his younger days Martin worked locally in steel mills, delivered bootleg liquor, was a prizefighter, and had a job in a casino. After appearing in local nightspots as a pop singer, he was hired by bandleader Sammy Watkins and began to tour. During an engagement in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1946, he and another performer, comedian Jerry Lewis, began clowning around during each other’s acts. This led to an immensely successful comedy partnership that featured Martin as a suave straight man and Lewis as an immature clown. Before long the two left New York for Hollywood. They made 16 motion pictures together, beginning with My Friend Irma (1949) and ending with Hollywood or Bust (1956). Despite predictions that Martin would fail as a solo act, his career prospered after he ended the partnership with Lewis. Martin struck gold with hit songs such as “That’s Amore” (1953), “Memories Are Made of This” (1955), and “Everybody Loves Somebody” (1964). Simultaneously, he kept his acting career alive, starring in films such as The Young Lions (1958), Some Came Running (1958), Rio Bravo (1959), Bells Are Ringing (1960), Toys in the Attic (1963), and Airport(1970). In addition, Martin performed in several movies with his fellow Hollywood clique members—dubbed the “Rat Pack”—including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr., notably the heist film Ocean’s Eleven (1960). He died on Decemebr 25th 1995. But his legacy continues on. SEO Work - HELP! So how is it that I keep moving back and forth on Google search? Just last week you could easily find my site on PAGE ONE when you typed in Dean Martin impersonator. Now I am on page four??? What happened? I know I recently bought the domain name philsolis.com and moved my primary account over from Yola's free site philsolis.yolasite.com and I suspect that because I took advantage of the free site it for so long, it gave me better visibility. That said, I decided today to switch it back as my primary site and we will see if it pops up next week on page one again. Who knows? My wife is a Marketing genius and has done a ton of SEO work. Perhaps it's time I ask for her help? Everything I have read online says if you state something too many times on your website, google actually counts that as a negative. By the way, just so you don't think I'ma complete goof, I did use all the phrases I could think of in my Metadata. Okay, that's all now.
Celebrity impersonator It has occurred to me that I need to update my website to include that I have access to several celebrity impersonators including; Frank Sinatra impersonator, Sammy Davis Jr. Impersonator, Marilyn Monroe impersonator, Elvis impersonator, Johnny Cash impersonator, Rodney Dangerfield impersonator, and aBobby Darin impersonator. I myself have never really thought I would classify what I do as a celebrity impersonator but it makes sense. Business is growing and would love to doing celebrity impression full time! Maybe I should have a tee shirt made that reads; "Celebrity Impersonator" for hire. Think that might work? EASY LIFE Some highlights from our Dean Martin Christmas Show! Thank you Mary Frances Conover and Justine DeAngelo for your wonderful contribution. Such a delight to work with true professionals. The very best in celebrity impersonators.

It was a fun filled performance and in my opinion Phil is the very Best Dean Martin impersonator. Orange County Dean Martin Tribute is what I searched for and was lucky enough to find Phil Solis right here in Orange County. Ericka B. • July 5, 2019 ☆Phil Solis Highly Recommended☆ Phil is an excellent entertainer with a beautiful voice. When Phil sings, it's like listening to the real Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Phil arrived a few minutes early to set up. His tracks are professional and beautifully recorded and sound like a real band. Phil's costumes are freshly ironed (very important to me) and beautiful. Phil looked handsome like the real Dean and Frank. He interacted with my guests while on stage and after his show he took pictures with some family members. We all had a wonderful time. Phil is professional and polite. I highly recommend him. Gloria T. • June 16, 2019 The perfect party entertainer Phil was great as Dean Martin for my grandad's birthday party! He is really funny and does a great job with entertaining everyone. My friends really got a kick out of him and danced when he sang. We loved That's Amore and King of the Road. Phil Solis is the very Best Dean Martin Impersonator. Thanks, Phil, you are so dope! Jessica A. • May 4, 2019 Like watching the Dean Martin Variety Show Phil is top notch and does an excellent job recreating the look and style and class of Dean Martin. Is by by far the very best Dean Martin Impersonator that I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot). We hired Phil to do his one hour Dean Martin Tribute Show and I honestly can say that from the beginning to the end of his show my friends were glued to their seats. He's funny and witty like Dino and has a great set of pipes to boot. Thank you, Phil, for making my Aunt Janice's Birthday Party spectacular! Candice J. • March 30, 2019 Ahh-Maaayy-Ziiing!!! Phil absolutely blew us away! Not only was he adaptable and professional, but he made the whole evening so special and memorable and Fun! Everyone loved him and he took every social cue to work the crowd! Super duper grateful you could be a part of our special event! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Celebrity impersonator Peter G. •February 28, 2019 Like stepping back into another era. Great Dean Martin impersonation and great music. Phil sounds like Dean, and really dresses the part. He sang all the songs Dean sang, and the jokes and banter were reminiscent of the old Dean Martin TV show. The live band was fantastic, and the audience had a wonderful time. Irene S. •February 18, 2019 Sold-Out! Highly Entertaining! I introduced Phil Solis to the Thousand Oaks Goebel Center Commission. Phil produced a hilarious and educational "Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis" tribute show to a sold out audience of 250 attendees. I watched the audience belly laugh and sing along to their favorite songs. The live band was a hit. This successful event for the Goebel Community Center will see more of Phil's shows in the future! Wonderful Dean Martin tribute artist. Shannon P. •February 15, 2019 Phil as Dean was awesome! Phil was an amazing talent that thoroughly entertained our seniors for Valentine's Day! He was attentive to the guests, made them laugh and brought them back to the times gone by through the timeless sound of Dean Martin. Thank you, Phil, for sharing your talent with us! Cathy S. •February 13, 2019 Fun Dean Martin show A few months ago I hired Phil Solis for a 1 hour Dean Martin show at my mom’s 70th birthday party. She loved it! Phil looks like Dean, sings like Dean, even flirts like Dean. Everyone sang along to “That’s Amore.” My mom still talks about it. Thank you! Cynthia B. •February 11, 2019 Fabulous Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Together Again Show The Goebel Senior Commission had Phil Solis and Derrek Alonso provide their "Martin and Lewis, Together Again" show for us with lots of wonderful singing of their old songs and delightful comedy routines that brought back so many memories for our audience. Folks were singing along with the songs and laughing at the jokes the entire time. Phil's portrayal of Martin was "spot on" including cigarette and drink in hand! His "Martin" voice was just wonderful - very melodic. And the antics of Alonso as Lewis were hilarious. The show was attended by about 230 folks and certainly enjoyed by all. Justin F. •January 31, 2019 I thought I was watching the real Dino I hired Phil to perform as Dean Martin at my Father's birthday party and he was amazing! I have watched a lot of the Rat Pack and seen the Dean Martin Toasts and shows he did. Not only does he have the characteristics and sophistication of Dean Martin, but he has a beautiful singing voice that sounds very much like Dean Martin. I highly recommend him to my friends and to anyone that's wants that fun, charismatic charm at their party! Celebrity impersonator Jake Hasablain • January 19, 2019 Dean Martin Look a like! I hired Phil as part of a Rat Pack Show I did and he is the splitting image Dean Martin. He has ALL the same mannerism, sound, vibe and charm of the real Dean Martin. I know because my father worked with the real Dean Martin at the Sands Hotel in Vegas and I met Dean many times. I am a big Rat Pack Fan and I know how the guys should look and act! The moment Phil walked on stage, everybody in the audience knew it's Dean Martin. One gal even yelled out "We love you Dean". So much fun. Phil started his set with a Dean version of Pennies from Heaven but sang it as Bourbon from Heaven. LOL. Then he did some shtick that was hilarious. Then sang Everybody Loves Somebody followed by King of the Road and ended his set with "That's Amore" and everybody joined in to sing with him. A successful SOLD OUT Show. Allison G. • June 24, 2019 Fun Dean Martin Impersonator Watching Phil Solis is like like watching a Dean Martin Hologram. Dean Martin returns to Las Vegas! Immortalized as the “King of Cool,” Martin will be resurrected in high definition by Hologram USA so that new audiences can experience the effortlessly cool charmer as he performs a number of his timeless hits—“That’s Amore,” “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You”—and comedy bits that established him, with Jerry Lewis, as one of the most popular comedy duos in Hollywood history—and one of the most sought-after variety acts in Vegas for decades. Stephen Gary • September 13, 2018 Orange County Dean Martin Impersonator I hired Phil for a Rat Pack Tribute show I was doing in Orange County. May I say that he's a gasser! A true professional at his craft and I could not be happier with his stellar performance. He started his part of the show with Dean Martin's Drink to me Only bit and the audience howled. Then he sang When you're drinkin' song! Another hit. The Rat Pack is Back with Phil's performance as Dean Martin. Reallygood job pallie. Sharon R. • July 1, 2018 Fun Show I searched for Los Angeles Dean Martin Impersonator and Phil's website showed up. I am so glad I hired him. Not only is he as handsome and sexy as the real Dean Martin but he is funny as heck. I also found him in a search for Las Vegas Dean Martin Tribute show. Guess this man gets around Lol. Jessica Blake • March 13th, 2018 Best Dean Martin Impersonator Ever! I cannot say enough great things about Phil Solis as Dean Martin. He did his DEAN MARTIN TRIBUTE SHOW and it was a big hit. David G. •February 20, 2018 Top Notch! A real professional at his craft!! Anyone that enjoys the humor as well as Dean's unmistakable voice will enjoy this mans rendition He captures the essence of the era and gives you the feeling your back in time. Smooth as Silk yet with that Classic Rat Pack Vibe. Great job Phil really enjoy your work. Celebrity impersonator for hire!
