To begin with, he was mainly raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey. He learnt to play the trumpet at the Eisenhower Middle School, then while still studying at Ramapo High School, he sang in several teenage bands such as Milkbone and Lady Rain, before matriculating in 1993. Later, he graduated from Boston Conservatory earning a Bachelor’s degree majoring in Music Theatre, also gaining experience in plays off-Broadway.
In 2001, he played Hedwig in the off-Broadway musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”. He was also the winner of the dating show “Elimidate”. Other notable performances were roles in “Tango ’til They’re Sore” (Oleg), “Macbeth” (Malcolm) and “Jesus Christ Superstar” (Judas, Jesus). In 2001, Maroulis appeared in the episode of the “Law and Order: SVU”, and has also appeared in independent films including “The Strangler’s Wife” (2002). In 2005, Constantine contested the fourth season of “American Idol”, in which he gained fans behaving as a rock star, and with provocative expressions. Although he was eliminated early in the competition, he was immediately contacted to be a model for advertising. In the summer, he still took the tour of “American Idol”, and he performed in the Philippines, and his version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was included for the Killer Queen tribute album. The same year, Constantine released his debut studio album “Pray For The Soul of Betty” (2005), which peaked in the second position of Billboard Heat chart. His net worth was rising steadily.
After several works in the theatre as well as playing Constantine Parros in “The Bold and the Beautiful” soap opera (2007), Maroulis’ debut album “Constantine” (2007) was released through his own label, which reached ninth on the Billboard Indie chart. Immediately after the release, he participated in another program, this time in the Tony-nominated musical “Rock of Ages” (2007). The same year, Constantine won the Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund’s Humanitarian Award for Artistic Achievement, and for the support of theatre and introducing theatre to young audiences, Maroulis was honoured with a Broadway Beacon Award in 2009. The same year, he was rewarded as The Broadway Star of the Year.
As a notable Greek, he became the winner of Forty Under 40 by the Greek America Foundation in 2010, and in 2011 the same foundation honoured him with a Gabby Award in the category of Performing Arts. In 2015, he won Make a Difference Award by Loukoumi for his contributions to the entertainment world.
Finally, in the personal life of Constantine Maroulis, he has been in a long term relationship with Angel Reed; they have a child together, but he is apparently under a restraining order asked for by her.
