**Måneskin – Damiano David Wins Italian Music Award for Artist of a Lifetime**
In a moment that brought roaring applause and emotional reflection, **Damiano David**, frontman of global rock sensation **Måneskin**, was honored with the **Italian Music Award for Artist of a Lifetime** at a star-studded ceremony in Rome last night. At just 26 years old, the charismatic vocalist has already etched his name into the history books—not just for his unmistakable voice and electric stage presence, but for reshaping modern Italian music on the world stage.
As Damiano stepped onto the stage to accept the award, the crowd rose in a standing ovation that lasted nearly a minute. With humility and passion, he dedicated the award to his bandmates—**Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio**—and to the fans who turned their vision into a global movement.
> “This isn’t just mine,” Damiano said, voice thick with emotion. “It belongs to everyone who believed we could make rock feel alive again.”
Rising to fame after **winning Eurovision in 2021**, Måneskin defied expectations and language barriers to become one of the most in-demand live acts worldwide. Damiano, in particular, became an icon of reinvention—merging glam rock bravado with lyrical vulnerability, and using his platform to challenge gender norms, speak openly about mental health, and advocate for artistic freedom.
Industry insiders say this Lifetime honor, though typically reserved for veteran artists, reflects **Damiano’s cultural impact beyond his years**. From stadium tours to fashion campaigns, he’s not just an artist—he’s a movement.
As he left the stage, the words from a recent hit echoed in the auditorium:
**“I wanna be a slave, I wanna be a master…”**
Last night, **Damiano David became a legend**—without having to stop being himself.
