David Frangioni – Midiot Of Success – EP087

Episode Description In this episode, Growin' Up Rock talks with
producer, engineer, and technologist David Frangioni. David's early
experience with MIDI technology would establish his reputation as
the go-to guy for setting up home studio recording.  David
became so much of an authority on MIDI setups, Aerosmith's Joey
Kramer gave David the title of "Midiot" along with the hat to go
with it. David's worked with countless rock artists including
Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Elton John, Styx, and KISS. Bands you
will hear on this episode include Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Who
is David Frangioni? David Frangioni’s musical aspirations started
when he began playing the drums at just two years old. Around the
same time, he lost an eye to cancer. He continued drumming,
realizing music was his passion, a passion that extended later to
music technologies. David was one of the pioneers behind MIDI
technology. He parlayed that experience into a gig serving as
Aerosmith’s in-house engineer/technologist from 1989 to 2002 and
continues to work with them. He's worked as a producer, engineer,
and technologist for a long list of iconic rock artists including
the Stones, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Sting, Journey, Styx, and
more. A successful entrepreneur, David is the founder of Audio One,
one of the most successful and awarded Audio/Video firms in the
United States. David has been featured on CNN, Variety, Sun
Sentinel, Miami Herald, and more. He also gained notoriety as the
official technologist for the TV show “The Osbournes," appearing in
multiple episodes of this MTV hit. Reach Out to Growin' Up
