Born in Treviso, Italy and already a musician from age 6, Ricky Damian’s career started at age 15, when he began assisting at the biggest studio in town, learning to use analog gear and tape machines while producing his own projects on the side.

At the age of 19, he moved to London to further pursue his career in music production and while attending SAE Institute he started working for legacy producer Mark Ronson as his in-house engineer, working very closely on hundreds of projects across over 8 years.
