Dating & Relationship Status
Damiano has been relatively private about his personal life, but he has been romantically linked to several individuals over the years. Most notably, he was in a long-term relationship with model Giorgia Soleri, though their current relationship status is not officially confirmed as of recent updates. Damiano has spoken about the pressures of fame and the challenges of maintaining relationships in the public eye.
Due to the nature of his parents' work, he and his older brother Jacopo travelled worldwide from an early age, which introduced them to various cultures. Until he was 17, he showed some talent playing basketball as a point guard at the local club Eurobasket Roma. He recalls that the basketball experience gave him fundamental discipline to succeed in his life.
David started singing when he was six years old. He met Victoria De Angelis and Thomas Raggi, whom he would eventually go on to form Måneskin with, during his high school days. He studied at the liceo linguistico Eugenio Montale in Rome, but he did not complete high school and instead devoted himself to his music career, for which he had the support of his parents. When introduced for the position of a vocalist for their local band, he was initially rejected because his style was considered "too pop", but his insistence to be in the band eventually got him accepted. David soon changed his demeanor and style, especially his stage persona, because he learned how to freely express himself. The band was formed in 2016 and initially played as buskers in the streets of the city of Rome, but in 2017 they soon rose to prominence when they finished second in the eleventh season of the Italian talent show X Factor. The band had a breakthrough debut with the studio album Il ballo della vita and tour in 2018 and 2019. In 2021, their second studio album Teatro d'ira: Vol. I was released.
David was in a relationship with Italian model and influencer Giorgia Soleri for nearly six years. The pair split up in June 2023. In November 2023, he was reported to be in a relationship with American actress and singer Dove Cameron, with whom he made his first public appearance in February 2024.

Net Worth
Damiano is highly active on social media, particularly Instagram, where he shares updates about his music, performances, and personal style. His Instagram handle is typically publicized as @damianodavid, and he has amassed millions of followers. He uses the platform to connect with fans, promote Måneskin’s work, and showcase his unique fashion sense.
Education
Specific details about Damiano David’s formal education are not widely documented. His musical education, however, is rooted in practical experience—performing on the streets of Rome and honing his craft through real-world performance and collaboration with his bandmates. His rise to fame was accelerated through competition platforms like X Factor, which provided foundational training and exposure.
After their victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 he was falsely accused of drug use during the final. After the contest David, by his own initiative, underwent a drug test, which came back negative. David says that he has never used hard drugs and, along with his bandmates, is an anti-drug advocate. David himself stated in his Vogue Italia interview, "we are not falling into the stereotype of the alcoholic and drugged rock star". He states that he only drinks alcohol on special events. He believes that creativity comes from a "healthy, trained and lucid" mind and it is contradicting trying to truly express "our own self by binding ourselves to something that instead makes us dependent, slaves", also referring to the 27 Club.
