Marc Eric Terenzi (born June 27, 1978) is an American pop singer formerly of the boy band Natural. He was married to German pop/soul singer Sarah Connor from 2005-2008. They have a son named Tyler and a daughter named Summer.
Terenzi was born in Natick, Massachusetts to Italian-American parents Peter and Antoinette. 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 a Boston-based TV show called 'Studio A.T.V.'. Terenzi moved to Florida with a friend named Damion with very little funds.
After arriving in Florida Terenzi took on various jobs including a stint as a bouncer at the House of Blues in Orlando.
Terenzi eventually befriended an actor named Ben Bledsoe. In 1999 the pair soon teamed up with Michael Johnson, Patrick King, and later Josh Horn to form the boy band Natural.
The band created a buzz in the Orlando area eventually attracting attention from boy band mogul Lou Pearlman. Signed with Transcontinental Records they released their first single "Put Your Arms Around Me" in 2001. The single peaked at #12 in the German charts.
