Christian Montanez

Premier Musician

Welcome! I’m a guitarist and vocalist from Long Island, NY, dedicated to making your event truly unforgettable and unique.

I specialize in the art of live looping, a technique where I seamlessly layer guitar, vocals, beatboxing, and percussion to create a dynamic one-man band experience. This innovative approach turns a solo performance into an engaging, high-energy celebration.

My musical journey has taken me to prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall, The White House, and Madison Square Garden, where I’ve had the privilege of performing for influential figures, including U.S. Presidents, celebrities, and politicians.

What is Live Looping?

Live looping is a unique technique that allows me to combine my full range of musical talents—singing, guitar, beatboxing, and percussion—into a dynamic, multi-layered performance. Using a device known as a "loop pedal," I can build intricate layers of sound in real time, creating the experience of a one-man band. This innovative approach, popularized by artists like Ed Sheeran, sets me apart from the typical acoustic performer. Whether covering your favorite songs or creating new renditions, I can craft personalized versions of any genre or artist’s music. Explore some videos to see this technique in action!

Diverse Setlists

As a versatile cover musician, I pride myself on mastering a wide range of genres, spanning across different eras and artists. This extensive repertoire ensures that I can curate a setlist that resonates with any audience. My ability to read the room and adapt the music to match the atmosphere has been key to countless successful performances. Continuously expanding my library, I am always learning new songs to offer fresh experiences. For your event, we will collaborate to create a personalized setlist that reflects your preferences.

Testimonials

Nicole & Matt

"We saw Christian performing live and knew at that moment that he had to sing at our wedding. From the booking process all the way to our wedding day, Christian was easy to work with and very accommodating to our requests. His ceremony music was elegant and unique and created a romantic vibe as we walked down the aisle. During his cocktail set, he turned it up and brought the energy to prepare us for reception. His music was dynamic and suitable for every aspect of our wedding. If we were to do it all over again, Christian would be with us every single time!"
