When fans think of Måneskin’s electric frontman, they imagine roaring guitars, high-octane performances and rock-star swagger. But with the launch of his solo journey, Damiano David is rewriting his story—and his new Netflix-style spotlight is one you won’t want to miss.
🚀 From Eurovision to Reinvention
Damiano first erupted into global consciousness when Måneskin dominated the stage and airwaves after winning the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. Yet even as the band’s frontman, he admits he was pulled into a character he didn’t always feel he owned. (GRAMMY)
With his solo debut album, FUNNY little FEARS (released May 16, 2025), he drops the mask. The record strips away the swagger and lets you into David’s vulnerable world—his insecurities, his fears, the human side behind the spotlight. (Wikipedia)
🎯 The New Chapter Begins
The headline? Damiano’s next act isn’t a continuation of his rock-band persona—it’s a reboot. Through tracks like “Next Summer” (which uses the metaphor of being locked—“a prisoner of ourselves”) he reveals unexpected emotional depth. (Wikipedia)
He’s also on the 34-date global “FUNNY little FEARS” world tour—Asia, Australia, Europe, North & South America. (Wikipedia)
