Elvis Costello is an English musician and singer-songwriter.
Costello came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s,
And later became associated with the punk rock and New Wave musical genres,
Before establishing himself as a unique and original voice in the 1980s. Costello's lyrics
Are typically verbose, literate and steeped in wordplay, and his music has been wildly diverse,
Drawing on dozens of genres: critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Costello, the pop encyclopedia,
Can reinvent the past in his own image".
