JOEL: I’m Joel Madden, and this is Artist Friendly. On this episode, I’m talking with Italian singer songwriter, the lead singer of the band Måneskin, and now solo artist with his new solo record coming soon, Damiano David. Let’s go!
[PODCAST INTRODUCTION]
JOEL: Let’s talk about your music.
DAMIANO: Okay.
JOEL: You dropped two songs, uh, Born with a Broken Heart and Silverlines. And you have more coming?
DAMIANO: Yeah.

DAMIANO: ’25
JOEL: Right?
DAMIANO: So I’m waiting.
JOEL: Yeah. I feel that like, somewhere in ’25 when I feel like it’s done, it’ll be done, and when we’re ready to drop it, we’ll drop it. These things write themselves

DAMIANO: Definitely.
JOEL: Of the two songs you put out, is there one that you like the most or the most excited about?
DAMIANO: I like both for different reasons. I think Born with a Broken Heart, it’s closer to than what the rest of the record it’s going to be, so it’s more my sound, I would say. But that doesn’t mean that Silverlines is not my sound. It’s just I’m more driven in that direction, right now.
