[[Image:ecostello2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus, alias Elvis Costello.]]
Costello sejak lama muncul di panggung [[rock pub]] London pada pertengahan tahun 1970-an, dan belakangan terkait dengan genre musik [[rock punk]] dan [[New Wave]], sebelum akhirnya mendapatkan pengakuan sebagai penyanyi unik dan orisinal pada tahun 1980-an. Hasil karyanya sangat beraneka ragam -- seorang kritikus menulis bahwa "Costello, sang ensiklopedi [[musik pop|pop]], dapat menciptakan kembali masa lampau sesuai dengan citranya sendiri."[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:ly09kect7q70~T1]

MacManus
<!--By 1975, MacManus was already a husband and father. To support himself, he worked a number of office jobs, most famously at a cosmetics firm -- immortalized in one of his song lyrics as the "vanity factory" -- where he put in time as a data entry clerk. He continued to write songs, and began aggressively looking for a solo recording contract. On the basis of a demo tape, he was signed to [[Stiff Records]]. His manager at Stiff, [[Jake Riviera]], suggested a name change, using [[Elvis Presley]]'s first name and his maternal grandmother's maiden name to form Elvis Costello.▼
▲MacManus was born in [[St Mary's Hospital (London)|St Mary's Hospital]], [[Paddington]] in [[London]], living in the area until he was sixteen. With an already musical family (his father, [[Ross MacManus]], sang with [[Joe Loss]]), MacManus moved with his mother to [[Liverpool]] in 1971. It was there that he formed his first band, a folk duo called Rusty. After completing secondary school in Liverpool, he moved back to London where he next formed a band called Flip City[http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/flipcity/flipcity.htm], which had a style very much in the pub rock vein. They were active from 1974 through early 1976. Around this time, MacManus adapted the stage name D.P. Costello.
