[edit] Early life

Marc Terenzi grew up in Natick, Massachusetts to Italian American parents Peter and Antoniette. At the age of 3 his grandmother began training him at her dance studio. 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 on a Boston based TV show called 'Studio A.T.V.'. Determined as ever Marc moved to Florida with a friend and very little money just believing 'someday things would work out'. They soon did.

[edit] Natural Life

There are many publicity stories but the most likely one is that in 1999 Marc met a man named Patrick King at a party. Marc was good friends with a musician named Ben Bledsoe and Patrick was friends with a dancer named Michael Johnson. After much talk the men decided to create a boy band which were very popular at the time. After many line up changes the men added Michael 'J' Horn to their line up. They were then known as Natural

The guys tried to get signed with many major labels but were turned down despite a large local following in Orlando, FL. One day as they rehearsed at Transcon Studios boyband king Lou Pearlman noticed them and liked their act. Soon after they were signed with Transcontinental Records.

Lou Pearlman spared no expense and promoted the guys first single with Claire's and a tour with the Monkees. However American fame was slow and the guys were soon sent to Germany to conquer little girl's hearts. They had success with such hits as 'Put your arms around me', 'Will it ever', and 'Runaway'.

In the Summer of 2001 Marc met German pop star Sarah Connor at a music festival. The two soon hit it off and were dating despite Lou Pearlman's best wishes. Lou Pearlman had strict rules for his boy bands: they couldn't have facial hair, they couldn't have many piercings or tattoos, and they definitely couldn't have girlfriends. However the relationship continued on.

In the summer of 2003 Sarah Connor became pregnant and the couple became engaged. Around this time Natural was coming back from a hiatus and releasing a single 'What if' from their 2nd album 'Its only Natural'. Lou Pearlman wasn't happy with the news and wanted Marc kicked out of Natural and replaced with someone new. The other members (except Patrick King) were not thrilled with this and decided to break Natural up. They finished the tour and Marc was left to a new phase in life.

[edit] Life after Natural

Marc's son Tyler was born February 2, 2004 and he and Sarah married shortly after. Marc laid low until the summer of 2005 when it was announced he had a forthcoming solo project and that he and Sarah would star in their own TV series 'Sarah and Marc in love'. The TV series focused on their lives and planning of a rewedding in Spain. Marc's single 'Heat Between the Sheets' was released soon after and hit the top 40 in Germany and Austria. He followed that up with the song he wrote for the wedding 'Love to be loved by you' which peaked at #3 in the German charts. His CD 'Awesome' hit the top 15 in German charts.

In March of 2006 Marc has a German tour for 'Awesome'. His wife gave birth to their second child Summer Antonia Soraya on June 23 2006. Summer had a heart defect at birth but received surgery and is now fine.
