Måneskin FAQs
What does Måneskin mean and how do you pronounce it?
+Måneskin means 'moonlight' in Danish. It's pronounced 'MAW-neh-skin' with the emphasis on the first syllable. The band chose this name because bassist Victoria De Angelis is half Danish, and they liked how it sounded mystical and connected to their dramatic stage presence.
Did Måneskin really do drugs at Eurovision 2021?
+No, absolutely not. After winning Eurovision 2021, there were false allegations that lead singer Damiano David was doing cocaine during the live broadcast. The band immediately requested a drug test, which came back completely negative. The EBU (European Broadcasting Union) officially closed the matter, confirming no drug use occurred. Damiano was actually just leaning down to pick up broken glass that Thomas had accidentally stepped on.
How did Måneskin become famous?
+Måneskin started by busking on the streets of Rome as teenagers. They gained initial recognition on Italian X Factor in 2017, finishing second. But their real breakthrough came when they won Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with 'Zitti e buoni,' which catapulted them to international stardom and made them global rock sensations practically overnight.
Who are the members of Måneskin and what do they play?
+The band has four members: Damiano David (lead vocals), Victoria De Angelis (bass guitar), Thomas Raggi (guitar), and Ethan Torchio (drums). They all met in high school in Rome, except Ethan who joined after they posted a 'drummer wanted' ad on Facebook. They've been together since 2016 and their chemistry both on and off stage is incredible.
Are any of the Måneskin members dating each other?
+No, none of the band members are romantically involved with each other - they're just really close friends who've grown up together. Damiano has been in a long-term relationship with model Giorgia Soleri since 2017. Victoria, Thomas, and Ethan generally keep their personal relationships private, focusing on their music and friendship as a band.
Why does Damiano David wear makeup and dresses?
+Damiano wears makeup, nail polish, and sometimes feminine clothing as part of his artistic expression and to challenge gender norms. He's very vocal about breaking down traditional gender stereotypes and believes fashion and beauty should be for everyone. It's his way of promoting self-expression and authenticity - he wants fans to feel free to be themselves without conforming to society's expectations.
What's Måneskin's biggest hit song?
+Their biggest international hit is definitely 'Beggin'' - a cover of The Four Seasons' 1967 song that went absolutely viral on TikTok and hit #1 in multiple countries. While 'Zitti e buoni' won them Eurovision, 'Beggin'' is what really made them household names worldwide. The song has billions of streams and introduced their rock sound to a massive global audience.
Do Måneskin write their own songs?
+Yes, Måneskin write most of their original songs themselves. Damiano typically handles the lyrics while the whole band collaborates on the music. They've worked with some co-writers and producers on certain tracks, but they're very hands-on with their creative process. Songs like 'Zitti e buoni' and 'I Wanna Be Your Slave' showcase their authentic songwriting abilities and personal experiences.
