Damian was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia by his loving grandma Uma. Born into the world with an unknown father, he managed to find a father figure in his uncle, Stuart.

Only in recent times has he managed to find the identity of his father, a Romanian freedom fighter[1], who rejoined the militia shortly after his conception and was tragically killed while driving an ice-cream truck in Bucharest in 1982. At the age of eleven he started his career at the local RSL club as a lunchtime DJ.

In recent times, Damian has been nominated for the "Best Innovative New Program/Segment Idea – Radio" by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) in 2005[2] and quoted as the most "entertaining voice on drive time community radio"[3].

Roberts recently appeared in an unsuccessful pilot for a late night talk show on Australia's Network Ten
