On November 17th, First Lady Michelle Obama hosted her final presidential gala “Fit 2 Celebrate.” Among the featured artists were Dougie Fresh, Jordin Sparks, and Patchogue-Medford’s very own Christian Guardino, who partnered with Ms. Sparks to perform her hit single “No Air.”

In the days leading up to the event, Christian prepared non-stop, claiming it was one of the most intimidating yet incredible experiences he has had to date. “I was so nervous to sing with Jordin, but when she picked up the mic and sang that first note, the nerves went away and my excitement grew.”

The Red & Black featured a piece in our last issue about Christian’s performance at the Apollo and our paper is proud to report his continued success.

UPDATE: Christian has been casted on the FOX television special “Showtime at the Apollo” hosted by Steve Harvey and premiering on FOX December 8-10.
