Bands like the Rolling Stones, Queen, and Black Sabbath all have one thing in common: a larger-than-life frontman. Now, if you are familiar with his performance style, it should come as no surprise that Damiano David grew up idolizing rock and roll frontmen. “[T]hey just seemed more powerful. The connection with the crowd and the energy they inspire, it’s different from anything else,” David explained to Upset. In a video for NME, he shared that the first CD he bought was “Nine Lives” by Aerosmith, a band that’s of course fronted by legendary rocker Steven Tyler.
While some might assume David’s main character energy on stage would translate into a wild personal life, his bandmates said the reality is much different. “Damiano barely drinks beer,” Victoria De Angelis told The Guardian. Guitar player Thomas Raggi added, “he’s such a sfigato, a dork: he goes to bed at 11pm with his chamomile tea.” Still, David knows how to properly rock out on stage, which only made it more difficult when most live music came to a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The worst moment for me as a lyricist was lockdown because the only thing I saw was Netflix and my cats,” David told Upset. “I wasn’t really on fire; I was just f***ing bored and angry.”
Since Måneskin’s debut, David has amassed an impressive fortune. As of 2022, he was worth an estimated $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
