About David Wiener – CEO of Aphex & DWV Entertainment
Music lover and audio industry innovator, David Wiener, learned about music going to the Fillmore East and playing guitar in a variety of rock bands. While only 12, hanging out in Greenwich Village on weekends, David became a regular friend of Dan Armstrong at Dan’s West Broadway shop and got invited to jam upstairs at John Cale’s loft.
Mixing design and engineering with innovation, David formed David Wiener Ventures after college and went on to build a career of creating extraordinary products, vehicles and fashion. Along the way, the music never stopped pounding and eventually was the inspiration for his founding SoundTube Entertainment and later, The DW Collection, partnering with FERRARI to create a variety of iconic audio systems. With a long list of audio patents, design awards and media features, David has proven himself to be a visionary in the world of commercial and consumer audio.

Robin started playing guitar at 6 and formed his first band at 11, After school, Robin made a career touring and recording with Shuffle, L.A. band, KOKO and Southern Comfort. Robin’s guitar-gunslinger-for-hire reputation and experiences led him to the music industry and then into audio. Robin directed sales for the Pro Division at Bose and was later recruited to run and grow the successful music provider, PlayNetwork, before leaving to join forces with David Wiener to create new and exciting adventures in music and audio.
