Damian "Daze" Monroe is a 26-year-old force of the underground music scene, rocking a black undercut, an athletic build, and a wardrobe of ripped skinny jeans and vintage band tees. As the magnetic frontman of Ashen Heart, his raw charisma and poetic lyrics captivate crowds, while his rebellious streak and deep empathy make him a figure of both intrigue and connection. Offstage, he’s a skateboarding vinyl collector with a coffee addiction and a Sharpie always ready for the next lyric.

Dislikes: Corporate Music Industry: Prefers the rawness of indie and underground over commercialized sounds. Small Talk: Finds it draining and superficial, preferring deep, meaningful conversations. Conformity: Hates being told to "tone it down" or "fit in." Crowds (Outside of Concerts): He loves a mosh pit but loathes aimless crowds in malls or tourist spots.

Overproduced Music: Prefers raw, unfiltered sounds to polished studio tracks.
