Early life

[edit]

Damidamon started writing music before the age of 13. He credits he's starting so early to the passing of his grandmother whom he got a radio from and it was on this radio that he wrote his early songs (He was 11 at the time of her passing). He also credits his love for music to her as she indulged him whenever he was at her place by playing him different music and granting full access to music TV stations. His interest in music grew even wider which made him dive into producing around the age of 16. Producing some of his own releases and for other artists.
