Hey, I’m David Andrew Wiebe and I make things.
My website and writing are simple on purpose. I don’t want people to “miss the point for the writing around it.”
I think of myself as an author, entrepreneur and musician, but you be the judge. 😉
I love to create. I love to learn. I love adventure.
I’m living the nomadic life. I currently live in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
I founded Music Entrepreneur HQ and co-founded The Indie YYC. I’m a staff writer for Music Industry How To.
I’ve been interviewed a few times.
My 3 words for 2020 are Completion, Curation and Synthesize.
That’s all I wish to say about myself here, but if you want to go deeper, you can peruse my About page.
Here is what others have said about me.
Catstar Images does my photos. Thanks!
