David Vincent Williams (born September 18, 1969 in Houston, Texas) is an American country music singer-songwriter.

[citation needed] Williams lived in Houston until 1980 when his family moved east and settled in Lufkin, Texas.

Influenced strongly by songwriters in the country format like Kris Kristofferson, Dan Seals, Dean Dillon, Bob McDill, Steve Wariner and Hugh Prestwood, Williams left Dallas in 1994 and moved to Nashville full time.

After Williams and Columbia Records parted ways, he focused completely on his songwriting, subsequently seeing his songs recorded by many established recording artists, including Diamond Rio, Mark Wills, Neal McCoy, John Michael Montgomery, Keith Harling, Reba McEntire, Ronnie Milsap, Jason Aldean, Craig Morgan, Jimmy Wayne, Lee Ann Womack, Terri Clark, Michael Bolton, Emily West, Ricky Skaggs, John Berry, as well as his biggest musical influence, Steve Wariner.

[7] Williams had his second major label radio single release as a songwriter in 2000 with “Oklahoma" by 12-year-old prodigy artist Billy Gilman.

In 2001, a still relatively unknown trio called Rascal Flatts released "I’m Movin‘ On" which Williams co-wrote with Phillip White.

[12] Around this time Williams became part of a trio named “Sky” which had a development deal in the works with RCA Records with fellow musicians Dillon Dixon and Billy Austin.

[13] Later that year, a song entitled “Anywhere But Here” was recorded and released by both Chris Cagle (his album title track),[14] and Brice Long.
