ABOUT
C.J. Marvin
SINGER · SONGWRITER · PIANIST · ENTERTAINER
A LIFETIME OF MUSIC
Born in Melbourne, Australia, C.J. Marvin’s life has always revolved around music. From classical piano and voice lessons at the age of 11 to writing his own songs as a teenager, music quickly became his passion, his profession and his way of life.
At just 14, he gave his first public pop concert in 1978. A few years later, he formed The Marvin Band and began performing professionally across Europe, establishing himself as a versatile singer, pianist, songwriter and entertainer.
Throughout his career, the music of Elton John has been a constant source of inspiration. What began as admiration for the songs developed into a lifelong musical journey – a connection that continues to shape his performances today.

A LIFELONG PASSION FOR ELTON’S MUSIC
C.J.’s connection to Elton John’s music goes back many years. It is not a recent trend, but a lifelong and personal musical journey.
A special moment came in 1984, when C.J. was personally invited to Elton John’s concerts in Milan.
After hearing him play in a hotel lobby, Elton remarked:
“You are the best me I ever heard!”
THE ELTON SHOW – LIVE ON STAGE
In 2007, C.J. created The Elton Show – a production born from decades of experience and a deep devotion to Elton John’s music.
Today, with a powerful live band, spectacular costumes and C.J.’s outstanding vocals and live piano playing, the show brings the energy, emotion and magic of Elton’s greatest hits to the stage – from Your Song to I’m Still Standing.
More than a tribute, it is a heartfelt celebration of the music, passion and extraordinary legacy of Elton John.
