Damiano David

Damiano David is an Italian pop star and fashion icon with a dynamic voice, style, and stage presence who is best known as the frontman for flamboyant alt rockers Måneskin. The Rome-based quartet, with its distinctive blend of dance-punk, glam fashion, and early-2000s indie rock swagger, found mainstream success after reaching second place on 2017's The X Factor, scoring a number one hit with 2018's "Il ballo della vita" and winning the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with the chart-topping "Zitti e buoni." Following the release of the band’s platinum-selling third album, 2023's Rush!, David expanded his repertoire by becoming a solo artist, showcasing a more personal side with the reflective piano ballad "Silverline." ~ James Christopher Monger
