Tallinnas sündinud ja muusikute peres sirgunud Holger Marjamaa alustas 6-aastaselt klassikalise klaveri õppimist Tallinna Muusikakeskkoolis, 7-aastaselt lisandusid sellele jazzklaveri ja trummi eratunnid. Üks suurimaid mõjuisikuid noore muusiku teel oli David Kikoski, kellelt avanes 13-aastasel Holgeril võimalus eratunde saada. Pärast lõpetamist õppis Marjamaa edasi Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemias, Sibeliuse Akadeemias ja ühes maailma mainekaimas konservatooriumis, Manhattani Muusikakõrgkoolis jazzklaveri erialal.
Professionaalse muusikuna hoiab Marjamaa klaveritooli Grammy auhinna võitnud trompetisti Chris Botti koosseisus. Ta on esinenud ja salvestanud koos Lee Ritenouri, Dennis Chambersi, Lizz Wrighti, David Kikoski, Lonnie Liston Smithi, John Riley, Steve Wilsoni, Jukkis Uotila, Ben Wolfe'i, Mark Grossi, Joey DeFrancesco, Chad Lefkowitz-Browni bigbändiga, Eesti Riikliku Sümfooniaorkestri, Dallase Sümfooniaorkestri ja paljude teiste kollektiividega.
Holger on võinud auhindu nii jazzklaveri kui ka klassikalise klaveriga, sealhulgas esikoha noorte jazzmuusikute võistlusel „Vikerkaar“ (Tartu, Eesti; 2006), Grand Prix XXIV rahvusvahelisel jazzklaveri konkursil (Vilnius, Leedu; 2013) ning teise preemia II rahvusvahelisel Tallinna pianistide konkursil (Tallinn, Eesti; 2011). Marjamaa oli ka poolfinalist 2018. aasta Thelonious Monki nimelisel jazzklaveri võistlusel, 2013. aastal pärjati ta Eesti nooreks jazzitalendiks ja möödunud aastal aasta jazzmuusikuks. Marjamaa muusikukarjäär on viinud ta New Yorki, kus ta elab alates 2015. aastast. Holger Marjamaa on nõutud jazzpianist Ameerika Ühendriikides, Euroopas ja Aasias.
