With a new record out, the time may be right for Michael Damian's return to Y&R!
It's nine
o'clock in the morning, an unthinkable hour for a rock star to be up taking
and making calls. But Michael Damian, best known for his 18-year run as
Danny Romalotti on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, has been up since six,

new hit single "Shadows In The Night."
Remembrance
The last time Damian was rocking at the top of the Billboard Hot

newest single, which he was inspired to write after the tragic events

Janeen Best, Damian's wife and partner in Damian Entertainment, serves
as his producer on the music video. At the time that Update spoke

it to MTV and VH1.
