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’m an author, entrepreneur and musician.
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’ve been interviewed a few times.
Here is what others have said about me.
My 3 words for 2020 are Completion, Curation and Synthesize. And, here are my goals.
That’s all I wish to say about myself here, but if you want to go deeper, you can peruse my About page.
Catstar Images does my photos. Thanks!

Things I’ve Written
For those times when people say, “you’ve got to write an article about that!” Read them. Share them. Print them up and put them on your wall (others have).
The Mindset Required for Success in Music
On your way to building a successful music career, what if… Your band broke up? Your cousin took his own life? You ended up with an anxiety disorder? You broke up with your significant other? Your producer sabotaged the album that was supposed to be your breakout...
Productivity in Music – Does it Matter?
“Productivity” feels like such a technical term… Especially when we're talking about something as creative as music. We could just as easily say “getting more done in less time” or “making the best use of our time.” But that still feels a little aimless to me. If the...
