Christian Beck is a filmmaker, singer-songwriter, and pediatric cancer advocate.

After creating a film for his sister, a brain cancer survivor, he witnessed the transformative power of storytelling. Through his award-winning Heart Throb documentary series, Christian collaborates with pediatric patients to share their stories. He founded VidsForKids to inspire young filmmakers to empower pediatric patients through film. His latest project, The Middle People, gives a voice to those with chronic illnesses transitioning from pediatric to adult care.

Christian, a passionate performer, was scouted from his dorm for Season 20 of American Idol. Last fall, after receiving an Instagram direct message inviting him to audition for season 20 of American idol, Christian auditioned on Zoom from his dorm room. Four weeks later, Christian was flown to Los Angeles to play an original song for the celebrity judges. At Dartmouth, Christian studied Film and Media Studies on the Pre-Health track and performs around campus in his band The Stripers with his two best friends.
