It was until early 2005 that l discovered this incredible singer. l was dancing/working away on a cruise ship ~ trapped in the typical ‘bubble world’ which so easily happens when you’re out at sea for such a long time. Anyways, l’m pretty sure my dear friend Danielle Katich emailed me a lovely letter and told me that if I hadn’t already checked out Damien’s music, then I SERIOUSLY needed too…
Holy moly ~ there are not many out there who can turn ‘those’ kind of feelings (which rarely can be written down) into words let alone into the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs that haunt you to the bones & take your breath away. He makes me want to keep pushing my artistry to reach this level of emotion – to move souls in such a way that tears escape their eyes before they even realize how deeply they have been touched.
Lucky me had the opportunity to watch him perform at a very small intimate venue in Paris, 2012. It was absolutely incredible, I’m pretty sure I cried happy and sad tears the entire time. He even invited a bunch of us to hang out with him on stage for a few songs!? Thank you Damien, l will never forget this moment…
