Biography

David Holy was born in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria (Germany). After leaving school, he attended the Goethe University Frankfurt to study business administration and Japanology. He dropped out of university early to pursue his interest in computer graphics and design. Subsequently, Holy successfully trained as an audio-visual media designer at a local television network, focusing mainly on 3D design and camera work. [2]

He then founded his own company "Holysoft Studios Ltd" and decided to study media production in Dieburg. The ad agency contributed greatly to the success of various local clients and small/medium-sized companies, including the delivery of television content over Internet Protocol networks (IPTV). His hard work and dedication didn't go unnoticed: According to the magazine Videoaktiv Digital, major television networks would face serious competition due to David Holy's ambitious endeavor (2008). [3]

In 2009, Holy established the publishing company „HK Media GmbH & Co KG“, releasing several radio drama serials between 2010 and now. Die Letzten Helden (The Last Heroes) was among the first and one of the most successful to this day. Due to the large number of contributing voice actors/actresses and long running times (up to six hours per episode and longer), the magazine Hörbücher raised the question: Is Die Letzten Helden the biggest radio drama show ever created? [4]

Holy also devotes himself to real estate. In 2015, he established his personal Youtube channel, releasing some of his works for promotion purposes. [5]
