Source-derived summary

David Holy (born 1979) is a German designer, publisher, radio drama director, writer, producer and entrepreneur.

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.

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).

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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as german audio drama producer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2026.

The first chronological checks are 1979, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
