Damien Sargue (born 26 June 1981) is a French pop singer known for his performance of Romeo in Gérard Presgurvic's Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l'Amour.

When he was little boy he wanted to practice karate but his mom registered him in song lessons in Caen Ecole des Variétés de Caen.
He started his career as a singer in 1992 in the program Numéros 1 de Demain in France and with his first single Emmène-moi. When he was 11 years old he decided that his artistic name was going to be Damien Danza, in relation to his favorite TV program Who's the Boss? where Tony Danza was the principal character.
At 16 years old Damien auditioned in the show Notre-Dame de Paris for the character of a sculptor but that character was removed of the show, so they offered him to be alternate of Phoebus and Gringoire. In 1998 was his first time on stage in Palais des congrès de Paris : he had been on stage almost 80 times supplying Patrick Fiori or Bruno Pelletier.
In 2001 he performed the principal role in Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l'Amour as Romeo Montaigue with Cécilia Cara as the role of Juliette Capulet.
In 2004 he provided the French dub for Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera by Joel Schumacher. His first album as a solo called Merci was released.
