Biography
Damien is an Australian Heldentenor who took two years out of his career to take care of his dying mother, which would later lay out the groundwork for his seminal cabaret “The Year I Watched My Mum Die” for Qtopia as part of Pride Fest.
A graduate of NIDA, ANU and Penn State University, this rising-star actor and dancer with emotionally charged powerhouse vocals has starred in several West End Productions and national tours; worked in film and television and online as well as performed in a variety of opera houses across the Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Damien has been supported by Roadshow Entertainment, ARS Musica Australis, the Gertrude Johnson Memorial Foundation, the NSW & Victorian Wagner Societies, English National Opera Benevolent Fund and The Royal Theatrical Fund.
Damien represented Australia in the World Championships of Performing Arts, winning Overall World Champion & Gold Medals in all his categories. He has also won and was nominated for several awards in the London LGBTQIA+ cabaret scene.
A quirky and hilarious character actor who also doesn’t typically look like a dancer with his long curls, Damien is principled and staunch in maintaining industry standards. He proudly identifies as non-binary, queer and neurodivergent with dyslexia and synesthesia.
