The next Elvis's name is Nene (pronounced Nay-nay). She's 16 years old and is from Thailand and plays an Ibanez MC300 Musician guitar that she was gifted by a Danish fan. More recently she received an PRS Private Stock guitar from a Thai office supply tycoon or some such. She became semi-famous in the US by winning America's Got Talent this year but she goes much further than that. Here she is with her band OZONE covering Psychosocial by Slipknot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eeUEEfdhhg

She's the oldest band member. People have said that the band is all high school students but that's incorrect. Boon, the drummer (also insanely good), just turned 13 and he is in middle school.

Here's Ozone's cover of Master of Puppets with Nene singing and playing BOTH guitar parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMDvdAzUXxs&t=2605s

Here are Nene's AGT performances (audition, "judges' callback", quarter final, and final, plus collabs with The Warning and with Lincoln Park; she skipped the semi-finals by getting a golden buzzer in the quarter final): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUWK9-GV4hQ

She opened for Avenged Sevenfold in Singapore last month, and then in their own show they invited her up on stage for two songs, which she absolutely slayed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN2vQdSshg

But, yeah, screw that AI stuff.
