Christian Montanez
Hi there! Allow me to tell you a little about myself. I am a musician from Long Island, NY performing anywhere from Montauk and The Hamptons, to Long Beach and NYC. Over the years, I have earned a reputation of being one of Long Island's best musicians. It's a privilege to perform for different and diverse crowds as it allows me to spread good vibes and joy through my passion of music
I am a multi-instrumentalist but known for my guitar/vocal combo. I am a "live looper" incorporating all of my musical talents like singing, guitar, beatbox, rapping, freestyle improv and more!
I've done numerous weddings, private/corporate events, restaurant gigs, you name it! I even have international and TV experience. My professionalism and experience make me a seasoned musician who can take your event to the next level.
the other side of me
When I'm not killing the music scene and jamming out, I'm in the hospital saving lives. I am a Registered Nurse by profession. Being a nurse is challenging, and the Covid pandemic in 2020 proved just that. However, it is one of the most rewarding jobs and I take pride in helping those in need. Nursing and music are similar, I can make someones day a little bit better through my work.
Nursing presented me the opportunity to join the Northwell Health Nurse Choir, a group of RN's with the mission of lifting the spirits of healthcare workers and people in general, especially during the pandemic. We got the Golden Buzzer on America's Got Talent from Howie Mandell, and made it all the way to the finals! Since then, we have performed on iconic stages like The White House, Carnegie Hall, and Madison Square Garden.
Nursing and music aside, I am a family man with a beautiful wife and kids. On my free time, you can catch me playing sports (I may break your ankles in basketball), enjoying nature, and chilled on the beach!
