Early life

At the age of 7 he learned how to play piano at his mother's church by teaching himself. He also learned to play guitar himself after his father gave him a guitar for Christmas. At the age of 12 he began to act and host a Boston based TV show called 'Studio A.T.V.'. Terenzi moved to Florida with a friend named Damion with very little funds.

Solo career

Terenzi originally intended to form a new band after Natural, named 'Jaded Rose'. However he and the other members had creative differences and his solo career was put on hold until 2005. Together with Connor he participated in a one off reality show for German TV. The series was called 'Sarah and Marc in Love' and followed their private lives, planning their wedding, and the recording of both their albums.

Terenzi's first solo single was titled 'Heat Between the Sheets' which reached the #40 in the German charts. His follow up single 'Love to be loved by you' peaked at #3 on the German charts. The single was a song he played at the wedding ceremony, and thus had a huge audience. It became his signature song.

Terenzi released another single, 'Can't breathe without you' as well as an album titled 'Awesome' which peaked at #8. To support the album he embarked on a tour of the same name during 2006.

After the tour Terenzi released a new single, "You complete my soul" on October 6, 2006. It debuted at #35 on the German charts. Despite this second album has yet to be released.

In 2007, after almost two years without an album release Terenzi left a note for his fans indicating he was still pursuing a musical career, "I know it has been along [sic] time since you have heard something new from me. Its only because I have been searching for a while to find out who I really am. Just because you have not heard anything from me recently does not mean that I have stopped working. There is still a lot to come."
