Daily Inspiration: Meet Wolfgang Damm

Today we’d like to introduce you to Wolfgang Damm.

Hi Wolfgang, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Music, at first, was a refuge. Later, it became a language, a way to make sense of emotions that refused to sit quietly, emotions that crowded him in the dark hours when the world felt impossibly heavy. It was a place where he could speak without speaking, a place where silence and sound collided in a way that made sense to him.

“I wasn’t chasing fame,” he says. “I was chasing air. Music helped me breathe when nothing else could. It gave me a way out of the rooms I couldn’t leave, the thoughts I couldn’t shake, and the feelings I didn’t know how to name.”

He remembers the lonely nights, the nights that stretched endlessly, replaying the same thoughts again and again, what happened, what he could have done differently, what he might have said or left unsaid. “It wasn’t my choice,” he explains. “I was made this way. I just tried to make the best of what I had. I just cannot keep beating myself up for being me. It doesn’t help. It only keeps you from moving forward.”

And then there were the outside voices, the whispers and judgments from people who looked at him and saw only the surface. People talking about his family, assuming he had no right to feel hurt, as if he had not already been shaped and scarred by their actions. “As if I hadn’t already felt the weight of it,” he says, shaking his head. The pressure, the misunderstandings, the self-doubt—they all piled up, each layer heavier than the last, until he finally called it what it was, “another breakdown from the same list of things as last time.”

He pauses before recounting another memory, a moment that still lingers in his chest. “I got so close to giving up on my dreams,” he admits. “I was trying so hard just to make it work, failing, then failing again, until I finally started to see some success. And even then, it didn’t feel like the reward. It felt like proof that persistence mattered, that enduring mattered more than the applause or the recognition.”

Even now, he reminds us, success was never the goal. It was never about the fame or the money or the attention. It was about survival, about expression, about capturing something real and fleeting and holding it long enough to make sense of it. What frustrated him most was not the grind itself, not the long hours or the endless revisions, but the struggle to translate what he felt into words and sounds, to make the music echo the exact way it resonated inside him, to explain an emotion that seemed lost in a sea of memories, a feeling too complicated to name but too important to ignore.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I was bullied really badly in school, have a learning disability, family of addicts, severe PTSD as a kid from drugs and domestic violence, been taken advantage of by people i was helping, when it really just stopped me from being able to help the world, I have been severely traumatized by several things. I don’t operate as most people do, i have completely different morals and values/ goals and i dont fit in anywhere.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I make my album artwork, Produce my songs, engineer, my tracks, market my music, write my songs, create promo videos, design media campaigns and create breathtaking unique music i wish was already made. Most of my songs are freestyles. My approach is i create a large volume of freestyles. Sort through the best ones and release those. After I have taken some time to polish them.

What were you like growing up?
think of the anime character that was stupid but tried really hard. who eventually surpasses everyone who laughed at him. Only to create a better world. I was a big gamer, i was severely depressed as a kid. I was always getting really happy about every little happy thing because i was always sad. I had trouble learning. It seemed i was always slow in comparison.
