Whether he’s recording his own songs, writing for other artists or channeling his creative skills elsewhere, Dave likes to keep things a little left of center.

Although born in South Carolina, Dave spent most of his childhood in Mississippi, where he formed an early attachment to all genres of music. Since moving to Nashville in 2001, Dave has released 12 albums and numerous EPs, including 2021’s Notes From Paris and several holiday albums.

Dave has always primarily written for himself, but in 2011 Blake Shelton released a version of Dave’s song “God Gave Me You” and the musician found himself in demand as a songwriter for others (and earned a Grammy nomination in the process). He’s penned tracks for numerous artists, including Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett and Maren Morris, Ingrid Michaelson, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Lady A, Chris Tomlin, and Dan and Shay.
