The pandemic, alongside a tumultuous breakup, the loss of close friends, multiple car accidents resulting in neck injuries, surgical procedures, a rollercoaster of emotional turmoil left him at his lowest ebb. This period of upheaval coincided with his Saturn Return – and for Damez, it became a pivotal moment of reckoning, where he had to confront the demons within and embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and rebirth.
