Entertainment

We’re thrilled to welcome Marc Christian, a classically trained yet refreshingly contemporary cellist based in Southern California.

Marc studied cello performance at Cal State Northridge and has since blended his classical foundation with pop, R&B, and cinematic flair. His musical journey has taken him from intimate events to major stages—including performances at the Grammy Awards and the Movie Guide Awards. He’s collaborated with artists such as H.E.R., Us the Duo, Chrissy Metz, DJ Deorro, and Victory Boyd.

Marc describes music as his identity and refuge, saying, “I believe a life dedicated to music is a life worthwhile.” His rich, expressive playing adds warmth and elegance to any gathering, and we’re honored to have him set the tone for Amber’s celebration with his signature “classic-contemporary vibes.”
