Christian Montanez
Hello and welcome! I’m a musician based in Long Island, NY, with the privilege of performing at events throughout the region, from Montauk and The Hamptons to Long Beach and NYC. Over the years, I’ve earned a reputation as one of Long Island's premier musicians, and I truly value the opportunity to connect with diverse audiences, sharing the joy and energy of live music.
​
As a multi-instrumentalist, I’m best known for my unique guitar and vocal combination, enhanced by my "live looping" technique. I blend my talents—singing, guitar, beatboxing, rapping, and even freestyle improvisation—to create a one-of-a-kind musical experience.
​
With extensive experience performing at weddings, private events, corporate gatherings, and restaurant gigs, as well as international and TV performances, my professionalism and versatility ensure that I can elevate any occasion. Let me help take your event to the next level!
two worlds, one purpose
When I'm not performing on stage, I’m in the hospital as a dedicated Registered Nurse, working to save lives. Nursing is an incredibly challenging profession, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 underscored just how demanding it can be. However, it's also one of the most rewarding careers, and I take immense pride in being able to help those in need. Both nursing and music share a common thread—through both, I can make a meaningful difference in someone’s day and bring comfort when it’s needed most.
​
Nursing also led me to join the Northwell Nurse Choir, a group of nurses with the mission to uplift the spirits of healthcare workers and people around the world. We had the honor of receiving the Golden Buzzer on America's Got Talent from Howie Mandel and made it all the way to the finals. Since then, we've performed on iconic stages such as The White House, Carnegie Hall, and Madison Square Garden.
​
Outside of nursing and music, I’m a proud family man with a beautiful wife and kids. In my free time, you'll find me enjoying sports, exploring nature, or relaxing on the beach!
