Biography

Damian was born on the 29:th of November 1985 in Teheran, Iran. His mother is Iranian and his father is half Iranian and half Russian. In 1986, his family fled the Islamic Regime and ended up in different countries across the world. He grew up with his mother in the suburb Tensta in Stockholm, Sweden. She has always been a true inspiration to him. As the only child, he experienced the harsh reality of being a struggling fugitive first hand. He saw his mother fight her way up in society, building a successful career and a rich life from practically nothing, with no one by her side. Her strength to overcome all the tragedies and hard circumstances in her life inspired him to have faith in himself. Thanks to her love, support and strength Damian always knew he could achieve, overcome and do anything.

Damian started writing music when he was eleven years old. To be able to fund his first studio, he started working as a telemarketer when he was sixteen. His natural leadership abilities contributed to him being promoted to Sales Coach at the age of seventeen. He got his first management position at eighteen when he was promoted to Sales Manager of the financial corporation he was working for. There, he took the sales numbers through the roof. It led to him being promoted to Sales Director for the whole corporation. His previous results, entrepreneurial skills and leadership abilities made him, at the age of 21, the obvious choice as CEO of a sales bureau with 75 employees. One year later he moved on to become Sales Director for one of the biggest entertainment corporations in Sweden - Stureplansgruppen, famous for running the most exclusive nightclubs in the country. Less than a year after that, he was promoted to CEO of the corporation’s event bureau.

Damian now had everything a young man from the hood could ever dream of, but he felt that though he had achieved great success, it was in the wrong industry. Being successful doing something other than what you really love was not real success to him. So he chocked his employees and business network when he announced his resignation, and new path – music.
