Damian Jean Neptune was born on August 24th in Paterson, New Jersey, to father Jean Neptune, a Haitian native, and mother Patricia Anne Murdoch, a Scottish/Irish descendant from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The family relocated to Los Angeles when Damian was still a toddler. Displaying an early fascination with the performing arts, he began formal training at a very young age. Throughout his childhood and teenage years, Damian demonstrated exceptional learning abilities, earning top marks in school and showcasing his artistic talents by writing intricate stories and creating vivid drawings.
By the age of 15, Damian had already embarked on a professional career in acting, singing, dancing, teaching, and fine art. Tragedy struck when his mother, Trish, passed away in a car accident on May 17th at the age of 19. Trish was not only Damian's manager but also his closest friend and mentor. Prior to her passing, she was a talented professional dancer, singer, and poet, having spent time in New York before devoting herself to raising her four sons.
With a strong foundation in acting, dance, singing, piano, and art, Damian spent eight years studying under the guidance of renowned coach Bobby Lyons. He also honed his skills through extensive auditions, eventually booking roles in SAG, AFTRA, and EQUITY film, TV, theater, and commercials. This success has allowed Damian to teach and mentor thousands of students over the past 15 years.
In addition to his artistic pursuits, Damian has dedicated his life to benefit and charity work, serving as a spokesperson for Equity Fights AIDS, Elton John's AIDS Foundation, and other organizations. He has also delivered lectures to tens of thousands of high school students and adults on how to succeed as an artist, taking great pride in his ability to inspire and help others.
