During a recent appearance on the Zach Sang Show, Damiano David shared his fears about making a record without Måneskin.
“Yeah, the first… because from me saying I want to make an album and me starting to make the album, it was 5 days,” the singer explained when asked if it was scary to create a solo album. “So, I didn’t have time to get scared.”
He continued, “5 days after, I was in a huge house in West Hollywood alone and I just had a bunch of songwriting session scheduled and I was like, ‘Okay, I guess I have to show up and just do it. I was very uncomfortable at the beginning. I was very uncomfortable and the fake it till you make it mindset really helped me.”
“I was scared. I wanted to go back at one point. I was like, ‘What am I even doing? Why am I doing an album on my own? Am I ready? Am I able to do it? Do I like too many things? Is the album going to sound too crazy?'” David admitted.
He also shared, “And then, at one point, I was like that’s exactly what I had to do and also sh*t started happening. Like Labrinth showed up. I had sessions with crazy people. Unfortunately, they didn’t make it to the record because they were a**holes but I worked with crazy people guys.”
Damiano started his solo music career with the single ‘Silverlines,’ produced by Labrinth, released on September 27. His second single, ‘Born with a Broken Heart,’ followed in October.
In a September interview with Radio RMF FM, Damiano addressed whether Måneskin had ended due to his solo career. “We’re good. I can call them now if you want,” he said. When the host replied that he could, David responded, “I think they’re sleeping.”
The host asked, “So, you’re gonna come back to the stage?” “Yes, of course,” Damiano confirmed.
David will begin his first solo world tour in 2025, with stops in countries like Switzerland, France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands.
