Born Declan Patrick | Born Declan Patrick MacManus in London in 1954; moved to Liverpool as a teenager. The son of a big-band singer, he began playing guitar and writing songs in high school. Started out performing in folk clubs; played in a country-rock pub band called [[Flip City|Hip City]]; later moved on to pop and rock. Signed to adventurous Stiff Records in 1976; changed his name to Elvis Costello. Formed original backing group, the Attractions, in 1977 and released critically acclaimed debut album, ''My Aim Is True''; one song from the album, "Watching the Detectives," made the U.K. Top 20 that year. With his frequently venomous, offbeat style and a carefully contrived look of purposeful nerdism, Costello became an overnight success in U.S. post-punk/new wave music circles in 1978. He has continued to attract attention through various stylistic changes, though his hefty reputation as one of rock`s more original artists generally has eclipsed his actual record sales. | ||
