Elvis Leonel Delvalle (known as Elvis Del Valle) is an Argentine writer, artist, singer, composer, cartoonist, editor, animator, screenwriter, producer, director, voice actor, critic and Youtuber. He is known to be the son of Sandra Madonna, the Argentinian Madonna since Elvis has created most of her music videos and composed the music for her original songs, but before that Elvis gained a certain popularity for producing animated projects. He is the creator of Demon Force (his first original animated series) and The Death Of The Powerpuff Girls Trilogy shorts (which remains his most popular work to date).
Biography[]
Elvis Del Valle was born on September 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The son of a Paraguayan immigrant, Elvis was mostly raised by his mother Sandra Madonna and his grandparents. Since childhood he has always been a fanciful child and used to be imperative. Elvis was always an outcast in schools since he suffered from bullying and was scolded by teachers. Elvis almost always changed schools or repeated a year. Due to the lack of friends, Elvis found company in the world of television. Elvis loved cartoons and anime so much that he used to repeat the dialogues to the point of imitating voices and developing speech based on Latin Spanish. The way he spoke caused Elvis to be considered an adult version of "The Boy Who Likes Art" and other times he was considered someone with mental problems. Elvis never stopped getting into trouble either because of bullying or because sometimes he also caused problems since according to Elvis, he tried to take on the role of bully just to try to fit in. Elvis always took refuge in the world of cartoons and movies since he loved fiction and began to invent his own adventures with characters that he himself imagined and even conversed with himself doing the voices of his characters, causing him to develop a almost schizophrenic state.
Since his mother was known for being Sandra Madonna, Elvis also had intentions of getting into music and singing. Elvis had said that when he was a child, he had a beautiful singing voice, but Elvis was exposed to a throat operation since he had swollen tonsils and that ended up affecting his vocal cords. In the end Elvis never recovered his original voice, but he still decided to become an artist.
Elvis Del Valle left school after finishing the seventh grade since his behavior and even his imagination was not something pleasant for the school psychologists, causing them to consider him an abnormal child and Elvis confesses that on several occasions they wanted to institutionalize him, so Elvis left school to run away.
Elvis began studying English and computers while he was out of school. He also went to drawing school, but dropped out due to scheduling problems. Elvis spent a year and a half studying at an institute, but then he dropped out after playing a practical joke on an underage student by sending her a link to an adult site, which got him into trouble. Elvis denied everything and his grandmother took him out of high school. Elvis confesses that what he did was a pretty stupid joke. He went to another institute to study graphic design, but he left that too since the class teacher left and never returned, causing all the money invested in the institute to be lost. Elvis returned to high school the year after finishing his studies and although he continued to get into trouble, everything changed when the principal who threatened to expel Elvis from school, she was replaced by a new principal named Ricardo. Elvis had decided to take his studies more seriously and began to show an interest in art and literature. Elvis and director Ricardo became friends and Elvis had free access to the director's library where he began to consume many books and novels. Elvis went from being an annoying boy to being a prodigy student who gained the trust of his teachers. Still, Elvis' crazy imagination was still active.
Elvis was always characterized by his love of drawing since he was little and you could already see his taste for the fantastic since he spent his entire childhood writing stories and drawing a lot.
In high school, his love for cinema and literature led him to establish a friendship with his literature teacher Noelia De La Cruz, who understood Elvis' vision and motivated him to create his material. Elvis gained the attention of his classmates for his way of drawing, especially for drawing material focused on sex and violence. Elvis was always attracted to eroticism, action, horror, pornography and gore since apart from cartoons, Elvis grew up watching horror films and erotic cinema. Elvis admits that he always stayed up at night sneakily watching erotic movies and cartoons. He also liked horror movies, but he didn't always watch them due to the fear they caused him until little by little his taste for explicit violence began to grow.
During his later years in high school, the books Elvis read motivated him to write his first novel titled World Voyage and an anthology book titled Tales From Elvis which was later renamed Tales From High School. After him in his semi-final year, Elvis received a netbook from the Conectar Igualdad plan and with it, Elvis began to work not only on his digital books, but also on his first short films and demos of his first songs. Thus Elvis created the shorts La Espada De Fuego, Un Dia En El Colegio, Exilio, Bubbles Death, also the first episodes of Demon Force and the documentary Aquatic Sensibility. The Demon Force pilot caught the attention of teachers so much that a premiere was planned, but it never took place due to problems the school was suffering. Still, Elvis decided to work on his very ambitious animated series Demon Force based on his imaginary adventures with his characters. He even made episode 2 at that time.
After creating his first short films and animated videos, Elvis opened a YouTube channel where he began uploading his material. In his early days as a Youtuber, Elvis was initially called Incógnito Nosferatu after the name of his email and he used to publish movie soundtracks, music videos with movie scenes and demos of his songs. At that time Elvis had created a radio program called Radio Historias as a tribute to old radio programs, but it received mostly negative opinions and in 2019 Radio Historias was canceled. Due to copyright issues, Elvis decided not to release any more varied content and decided to focus solely on his original material. Elvis later changed the name of his channel Incógnito Nosferatu to Elvis Del Valle, changed the profile photo from an image of My Little Pony to the Hell Productions logo and in the end eliminated many of the videos that were not related to the works of Elvis. He only kept his first short films, some episodes of Radio Stories, some of his songs, the advertisements for his albums and books with links to download them, the soundtracks of Bad Taste and The Driller Killer which were not affected by copyright and a video called Ponies Vs. Decepticons which remains his most viewed video to date.
After finishing high school, in 2016 Elvis went to the University of Buenos Aires to study Image and Sound Design. Despite his great ambitions to create, Elvis felt undervalued since he felt that his grandparents complained that Elvis spent days and nights in front of the netbook, considering it a waste of time. Elvis greatly appreciates his world and his characters and does not like people speaking ill of what he does. A year after entering university, in February 2017 Elvis Del Valle tried to commit suicide by cutting his arms with a cutter, but he only cut his right arm and did not have the strength to cut the other. Elvis changing his mind about what he wanted to do, his grandmother took him to the hospital to have his wound stitched. Elvis lied to the doctors saying it was an accident since his grandmother did not want Elvis to be exposed to psychological tests. Elvis Del Valle always felt depressed in his adolescence because he felt that he did not have the childhood or adolescence that he should have had and only the world that he had created kept him alive. After his failed suicide attempt, Elvis states that he began to feel like a man and that he began to see things with better clarity.
After recovering, Elvis continued working on his material and also on his discography, creating 4 albums including some that were not finished. Elvis also returned to university to study but in 2019 he decided to change careers since he did not do well in mathematics. Elvis even describes himself as a complete idiot at mathematics and that he doesn't know what 7 times 7 is. Elvis decided to start studying philosophy and did quite well. Furthermore, Elvis declares that philosophy helped him a lot to improve his vision of his world. Elvis was determined to take that path, but was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Elvis couldn't return to college due to the quarantine, but he decided to continue working on his material. In 2020 Elvis Del Valle released the sixth episode of Demon Force, his eighth album 31 Canciones Para Recordar, the animated short film Regular Show: When These Feelings Are Relay?, his first music video El Sueño Imposible and his first single El Rap De Los Pingüinos for digital platforms. That year, due to isolation, Sandra Madonna asked her son to help her record a music video which was Estrella De La Suerte. The reaction to the video was mostly positive and Elvis began working with his mother on the music video Angel which Elvis himself edited, acted in and directed several scenes. The video was well seen on social networks and Elvis appeared for the first time on TV with his mother in the reality show Cámaras En Acción. After that, they began making more music videos together and the album Nosferatu, Vampire. Elvis Del Valle and Sandra Madonna's music videos were so successful that Elvis Del Valle was invited to streamings, but he declined the invitations because he didn't have internet at home at the time. After the commotion generated by the music video Secreto, Elvis began to distribute almost all of his mother's albums on platforms under the label of his production company Hell Productions. After releasing almost all of Sandra Madonna's albums and 3 singles that Elvis made to the platforms, in November 2021 Elvis re-released almost his entire complete discography to digital platforms except for 2 albums that were rejected due to copyright, which were Another Brick In The Wall and Halloween Rescored. In 2022 Elvis returned to the university again after reopening its doors, but Elvis continued producing videos. That year he made the music video Limite by Sandra Madonna which was made twice because after Elvis managed to convince his grandfather to install internet at home, Elvis's computer was infected again by a virus making the video unusable. It was remade for the second time and Elvis also announced on his networks that the Cartooncalypse project had been canceled because of that. The video Limite was published in July on Sandra Madonna's YouTube channel and received positive reviews. A month later Elvis published the video on his channel without receiving the same impact that it had on his mother's channel. After that, Elvis began editing the videos that his mother began making for YouTube and all of them were published under the Hell Productions label. Starting in August, Elvis re-released his entire bibliography on Google Play, putting his manuscripts on sale for a low price.
Due to the cancellation and delay of new projects, Elvis began vlogging to remain active on his networks and on YouTube. Many of his videos were focused on a few video reactions, readings of comics or fanfictions, and movie reviews. After the controversy with Disney's Lightyear film, Elvis began to devote himself to film criticism independently writing. Since then, Elvis began writing reviews of movies and series on sites such as Filmaffinity, Sensacine, Rotten Tomatoes, Tomatazos and IMDb. Despite basing his criticism on the level of stimulation that Elvis feels when watching a movie, Elvis declares that his criticism is more valid than that of any user or specialized critic. In his review of the Five Nights At Freddy's movie he would declare that he can be a critic without the need to have studied film. His most popular vlog was a reading of the comic "Two Babies One Fox" and because of the reaction it got, Elvis did more readings about comics with pornographic material. Due to the reaction caused, some users compared Elvis to the YouTuber Dross Rotzank, declaring him his new successor. That then changed in June 2023 when Elvis began making more vlogs than normal, since he intended to leave YouTube for a while to resume the seventh episode of Demon Force and not leave any videos pending. Among the several videos he made, Elvis made a short of the fembots from the Transformers franchise and after declaring his interest in having sexual relations with them, the short quickly went viral on Tiktok and the users of that platform compared Elvis to the youtuber Deimoss who had a sexual attraction towards Toy Chica from Five Nights At Freddy's. Due to this, Elvis gained more popularity on Tiktok and that motivated him to make more shorts about the Transformers franchise with sexual themes and then 2 shorts about the female characters of Five Nights At Freddy's that he considers attractive, declaring himself the new Deimoss. Even Elvis was also compared to Youtubers like Beelce, Undea2 and JuanSGuarnizo. Although Elvis began to gain more followers on TikTok, he uploaded a video declaring that he would stop making shorts for a while because TikTok began censoring some of his videos that earned him such recognition and he wanted to avoid the risk of losing his TikTok account.
After having done a couple more readings, Elvis decided to stop uploading readings on his channel to resume his previous projects and had stated that he did not want his readings to overshadow his original content. After that and after being interviewed on the radio program "La Elegida De Los Famosos", at the beginning of October 2023 Elvis re-uploaded his discography to Audiomack in which he already had an account, but had left it inactive for 2 years. Elvis managed to find another place to publish his entire discography, but some albums are incomplete because Audiomack discarded the songs that were protected by copyright.
In November 2023, Elvis posted a new reaction video to an animated Five Nights At Freddy's video, but YouTube removed it before New Year's Eve for its sexual content. At that time Elvis had just released his new EP "Peaches" and was planning a New Year's Eve special which would be a video about the movies and series released in 2023 that Elvis managed to see, but it was discarded because the video was to last between 4 and 5 hours. On January 5, 2024, Elvis published a post on his channel announcing that after receiving a strike for his reaction video, he made the decision not to make any more videos related to rule 34 and that he would not return to them in the future. Elvis even decided to remove from his channel many readings that he had done during 2023 except for his shorts and the Sonic videos. He also announced that he would make a video review of the movie Wish and that that would be his last video, since Elvis wanted to end the video blogging stage on his channel and that he had already been thinking about it for months. Several future readings and continuations of some video readings were definitively canceled, this being a cancellation similar to that of Radio Stories. Elvis concluded the publication with a link to access all the vlogs on the Internet Archive website and stating that he did not regret having caused trauma with his readings.
As promised, Elvis released his Wish review in January 2024 to conclude his vlog series. A month later in February he published on Wattpad and Google Play his book of poems Woman of Fire and Man of Water: Poems of Love and Lust, which was well received on Wattpad, but did not surpass Mordecai's Fidelity. After the publication of this book, Elvis had released a statement in the community tab along with his opinion of the film Bob Marley: One Love that the readings of the Two Babies One Fox saga had been removed from his channel. The reason was due to a new warning that Elvis received on the platform for reading the fourth comic. YouTube automatically deleted said reading and Elvis decided to delete the other videos in the saga, including the remaining Sonic videos, to avoid possible infringement. In March Elvis decided to make one last vlog about 2023 releases that had been selected for the 2024 Oscars as a special for said awards ceremony, but the video had a very low number of views. Following this, at the end of March, Elvis released a new statement about his upcoming content on and off YouTube, including his participation as an actor in a low-budget film titled Mundo Zombie. The next day, Elvis appeared on the program "Mundo Imperfecto" on Televisión 33, along with Sandra Madonna, Ariel Castro, Pablo Pereyda (producer of the film) and other participants from Mundo Zombie. After that, Elvis appeared at a fashion festival along with Sandra Madonna and Ariel Castro, but the night ended with a fight between Sandra and one of the actresses from Mundo Zombie. That forced Elvis to announce on his social networks that he would refuse to participate in Mundo Zombie if the woman with whom Sandra had a fight was not fired and that he no longer had any intention of appearing at events that the producer would organize later. Pablo Pereyda ended up firing Elvis and Sandra from the project and threatened to sue Elvis for defamation. Although Ariel still participated in Zombie World, he threatened to leave the film if Elvis and Sandra did not participate.
After that, Elvis began publishing his old Demon Force comics that he had done in his childhood and began to worry about his college studies. But he began to suffer a nervous breakdown when his grandmother Maria Rojas began to tell him that Ariel Castro sexually abused him while he slept. That led Elvis to begin arguing with his grandmother, denying that such a thing was happening and that she was hallucinating. After telling her mother, Sandra revealed to Elvis that Maria Rojas was actually bipolar and suffered from schizophrenia. Sandra confessed to her son that Maria always tried to interfere in her life and that she did nothing but ruin her son's life. Elvis always suspected that his grandmother was one of the reasons why he could not mature and be more independent, therefore Elvis decided to establish a limit with his grandmother, the arguments he had with her became violent and he even threatened to make her harm if she continued with the accusations.
Although Elvis felt that he had lost the opportunity to appear on the big screen, his mother announced that they had regained the opportunity to act in Mundo Zombie even though Pablo Pereyda had said that they would not act. Director Jodi Fernandez had a good relationship with Sandra Madonna and after continuing to invite her to Mundo Imperfecto and making her participate in a music video by Los Pibes Del Penal, he managed to arrange things for her and her son to participate in the film. Elvis had already planned to reject the project if they asked him twice because he was upset, but in the end he ended up accepting.
