About Marc | SoCal Best Solo Cellist
Marc is one of those artists who can pick up just about any instrument and make music with it. Long before his California State University of North Ridge Music era, Marc was practicing cello, piano, and drums in the Los Angeles area. Playing by the rules gets a little boring, so he pushes music’s boundaries, experimenting in many genres including rock, folk, hip-hop, contemporary and EDM.
When not playing live entertainment at weddings, private events, and venues throughout Southern California, he is composing music, perfecting his cello and drum skills in his indie electronic group, Chills.
Marc also passes his talents on to his many students with weekly lessons.

FAQ, Booking and General Policy
Cello players are often called cellists. Cellists are often trained in classical music and some explore other music genres after their music education. Our solo cellist has years of music education under his belt and enjoys exploring other genres of music with his indie electronic group. A professional musician, he performs at weddings, corporate events, and other private and special events within Southern California.
A cellist plays a different sound compared instruments such as a violin or guitar. A bigger instrument with a deeper sound, a cello creates a distinct melody that brings about a different kind of emotion in people. When you hire a cellist for your event, you and your guests are treated to a musical experience.
A cello can play distinct tunes that is both soothing and emotional. The cello is often a classical music staple and is often combined with violins and viola in a string quartet. It can also be combined with a piano for a unique style or with a violin duet for a more traditional style.
A cello is bigger than a violin and with a larger resonating area. When played, a cello creates a deeper sound than a violin. The music produced can be both romantic and at times lonely but it can be adjusted to any music genre.

My husband and I had Marc the cellist perform at our wedding ceremony. He was amazing! We had a intimate wedding and his performance was fantastic! Everything was just as I pictured it, I am so pleased we chose to use the Ocdamia strings.

Thank you so much for enriching everyone’s experience during my mom’s memorial. Your team work made it possible for my mom to have a beautiful celebration.
Marc is an amazing cellist. He brought an extra depth in the celebration through his beautiful music. He is super easy to work with and and was super nimble in changing timing and plans as the occasion called for minor changes.
On behalf of my family, thank you so much for the rich and wonderful music.

I hired Marc to play the cello for my mom’s memorial service. He was fantastic. He played the cello beautifully and he’s quite diverse in the songs he’s able to play. All the songs I wanted were already on his play list. I only had to request Halo by Beyoncé and he was able to play it so beautifully. Margie (the owner I believe) was awesome. She was so responsive, helpful and on the mark with customer service. I highly recommend Ocdamia Music Group for any event where you want live musicians.

I contacted Ocdamia music at the last minute to find musicians for a memorial service in honor of my friend’s father, and I could not be happier. Marc played the cello for the funeral and he was very sensitive and responsive to my friend’s requests. He provided a musical focal point of beauty and grace on what proved to be a very difficult day for the family. I am grateful for his talent and empathy and would recommend Marc for any event!

I just had my wedding this weekend at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach and Marc Christian added such an elegant, luxury touch with his cello. The ambiance was so romantic and he even learned how to play some custom songs for us including “married life” from the movie “UP” I cannot wait to see my wedding video for the highlights of the beautiful ceremony. Thank you Marc for helping to make our special day perfect and extra special. Thank you Margie Ocdamia for helping us with such a beautiful selection of music and pairing us with Marc.
