Though generally quiet in private, Damian comes to life on-stage.
He worked as a spruiker in shopping centres across Melbourne for almost 10 years and has MCed everything from concerts, benefits, festivals and in-store appearances to exclusive performances, competitions, launches and charity events.
From 2000-2004, he was host of a number of concerts for the City Of Melbourne.
In 2006, Damian was invited to be the audience warm-up man for the third series of the evergreen Dancing With The Stars (7 Network), again providing his warm-up skills for the pilot of Naomi Robson’s, “The Naomi Show” (2007), also for the 7 Network.
He’s hosted Highpoint Shopping Centre’s renowned Star Search talent quest for five years and has expertly MCed in-store appearances for authors, TV presenters and recording artists for more than a decade.
Hosting in front of just 100 people or 10,000 people, Damian knows how to get the job done.
