David Frangioni, CEO
Founder and President, Audio One
Few people in the world of music technology can claim
the amount of experience and credits that David Frangioni
has amassed. When David was just 7 years old he started his
musical career as an aspiring drummer. By the time that he
was 16, David was playing full-time in clubs around New England,
experimenting with electronic drums and catching the music
technology bug!
Immersing himself in all aspects of technology, David quickly
became a leader in the music industry in digital audio and
video technology, computer based workstations, and MIDI systems.
David has earned the respect of music industry colleagues
across the globe and is considered a pioneer in the surround
sound business both as an installer, consultant, and mixing
engineer. David co-produced & engineered the first 5.1
digital surround sound music mixes ever on CD for DTS in 1995.

Frangioni is the recipient of over 65 gold and platinum
albums as technical consultant, engineer, and/or programmer
since 1987. He has been featured hundreds of times in magazines
worldwide and moderates an Internet music technology forum
that numbers in the millions of monthly readers.
In 1989 David began serving as the chief technologist for
the group Aerosmith. His relationship with the band has grown
through the years and continues to this day. He has built
most of their personal recording studios and high-end A/V
systems. He has served as their in-house engineer for the
records "Get a Grip," "Big Ones," "South
of Sanity," and "Nine Lives." An interesting
tidbit is that David even assisted in the sound design of
their arcade video game and Universal Theme Park Ride!
In 2003/2004, he gained worldwide notoriety as the official
technologist for "The Osbournes" and appeared in
multiple episodes of their hit MTV show. Ozzy even jokingly
referred to David as "The Rocket Man, only happy when
he has a fuse box in his hands!"
David has also produced and programmed two of the best selling
Sample CD's of all-time (Dance/Industrial I & II) released
in 1991 & 1994, respectively and just released his 3rd
& 4th Sample CDs, "Steve Smith - Rhythmic Journey"
and "More than Styx." As Chick Corea was quoted
saying "In an era of high technology, where new ideas
and creative impulses abound daily, you can be assured that
one person will be beyond up to date. Ahead of the curve.
Always on the bleeding edge of technology. That person is
David Frangioni."
