Cote Deonath's interest in Elvis started at the age of two, when his grandmother sat with him to watch the Elvis movie, "Follow That Dream." Cote was captivated by the movie, and by Elvis. At the age of three he started singing, and his first live performance was at the age of five, at the Dunnellon Christian School in Dunellon, Florida.

From there, Deonath went on to perform at Boomtown Days in Dunnellon, and fundraisers and retirement communities around the Ocala area. Cote and his family traveled to Memphis, TN for Elvis Week in 2008. He sang under the tent at Graceland Plaza that year, and returned for the next three years. In 2014, Cote competed in the Georgia Elvis Festival in Brunswick, GA, winning his first contest in the Non-Pro Division. Cote donates his time and talents to many charity events, such as the "Rock the Russell House" event. He competed many times in the Youth Division at the "I'll Remember You" competition in Live Oak, FL, and there in 2015 won his first Professional Division competition.

In June 2015 he competed in the South Carolina Elvis Festival in Myrtle Beach, in which he was chosen Fan Favorite and Champion in the Non-Pro Division. Cote wrapped up Elvis Week 2015 by winning Fan Favorite and champion of the Semi-Pro Division at the Images of the King competition.

In 2016, he won his first Ultimate qualifier contest at the Tampa Bay Elvis Festival and placed in the top 10 in Memphis. This year Cote has qualified for the Ultimate again by winning the 2017 Tupelo Elvis Festival.
