“Part of Damiano’s brilliance is that he creates music that defies genres,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “When our iHeart programmers first heard ‘Born With a Broken Heart’ we knew it didn’t fit into just one format, so we decided to do something we’ve never done before; our first multiple format ‘On The Verge’ across three genres.”

“It’s an honor to have ‘Born With a Broken Heart’ featured on so many radio stations across the country, and I’m so grateful to iHeart for all the continued support in promoting my new music and helping it reach new fans,” said Damiano David.

“We are appreciative and inspired by iHeart’s commitment to rising star Damiano David through their ‘On the Verge’ program. Being chosen as the first across three formats speaks to his potential and our collective belief in him,” said David Massey, President and CEO, Arista Records.
