Damiano David, lead singer of Måneskin and Italy’s Eurovision 2021 champion, has secured two nominations for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, as reported by That Eurovision Site. These nods are a major validation of his solo career trajectory, coming after years of success with Måneskin and after branching out on his own in 2024.
The specific categories for Damiano’s nominations are Push Performance of the Year — for his May 2025 live performance of “Next Summer” — and Best Long Form Video for his visual project “FUNNY little STORIES”. The 2025 MTV VMAs ceremony is scheduled for September 7 at UBS Arena in New York, where fans can vote for their favorite acts.
What makes this moment noteworthy is how it bridges Damiano’s Eurovision roots with his evolving global presence. That Eurovision Site highlights that his recognition at the VMAs underscores not just past glories with Måneskin (including Italy’s triumph in 2021), but the growing legitimacy of his solo artistic identity. In short: from Eurovision winner to MTV VMA nominee, Damiano’s journey is becoming ever more international and multifaceted.
