He is best known for his catchy melodies, falsetto voice, and putting on an epic show you'll never forget! If you’re watching him perform on stage, you’ll never guess his next move, as he bounces from the mic to piano to drums to the glockenspiel to a keytar. He’s always sure to leave an audience captivated. Since he was 5, Christian learned to play the piano and drum set. He started playing at church at the age of 8, and in high school, he was heavily involved in theatre and the arts. His music is influenced by his experience as a drum major in marching band, being a drummer since childhood, and his love for orchestral and cinematic epics like John Williams and Hans Zimmer. In his first year of college, God called Christian to take the road less traveled and take a leap of faith by pursuing a career in music. He found a passion for using his music to bring hope to the heavy-hearted and courage to those who dare to dream. Runtime: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes --------------------------------------------------------- Flint Under the Stars is a concert series that spotlights local talent, held on the third Wednesday of each month under the starry dome of the FIM Capitol Theatre. This series, which supports local artists by providing them with a professional performance experience, features a donate-what-you-wish ticket price. All proceeds benefit KidsTix, a program that expands access to the arts by providing admission to live performances for children and their families. $10 per ticket is the recommended KidsTix donation for this concert, and we understand that some may be able to give more and some less.
