This was despite the best efforts of a loving and supportive family.In order to quench his thirst for exploration, and to spare his loved ones further (first-hand) anguish, he left England, aged 19, landing in Northern Spain in 1988. Armed with his guitar, 30 English Pounds, a lust for life, and a street-wise sensibilty beyond his years, he would spend the next ten years singing his way around the world. He spent months in places as far reaching as South Africa, Australia and the Island of Bali, to name a few. The accumulation of knowledge gained from his adventures was eventually chronicled in the form of his first self-penned album which he entitled 'No Fixed Abode'. Released in 1998, it quickly garnered critical acclaim and the attention of music industry giants EMI, who invited Damian to America. He spent 18 years there, performing mainly in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, whilst also writing music for TV and Film.His second album of original material 'The Wilderness' was released in 2009. Upon it's completion Damian decided that the time was right for a new challenge and he set about the task of writing his first novel.'The Dreamer's Road' (Part 1) tells the story of Jack Jordan. A bright and adventurous boy, struggling to realise his dreams and his potential growing up in a 1980's repressed, Thatcherite Britain. His solution; to expand his horizons and flourish . Based upon the early period of his own life, the book is consequently a true and erudite story. On the back of the success of 'Part 1', 'The Dreamer's Road' (Part 2) was published in 2016 and continues the story of his life.This came after the release of Damian's third album entitled 'RAW', featuring his good friend and legendary keyboardist Keith Emerson. It was Keith's final recording before his tragic death. it is produced by the prolific Brian Kehew (The Who).view less
