David "D." Vincent Williams (born September 18, 1969 in Houston, Texas) is an American country music singer/songwriter. His songs have been recorded and released by major country recording artists, including “I’m Movin‘ On” by Rascal Flatts, Ty Herndon’s “Hands Of A Working Man” and James Otto’s “Just Got Started Lovin' You.” Williams is a BMI songwriter who has written over 550 songs.
Williams lived in Houston until 1980 when his family moved east and settled in Lufkin, Texas. Following high school, Williams spent four years in neighboring Nacogdoches, Texas playing in several bands. One of the most popular bands, Fives a Crowd, was a rock cover band that gained a substantial following before splitting up in late 1992. At this time Williams made his first trip to Nashville, Tennessee and recorded his first studio recording session at Oak Hill Studios with Kevin McManus. A brief return to Nacogdoches saw Fives a Crowd reconstructed into a country band and Williams played with them before the band relocated to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
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. He landed a songwriting publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music (Warner Tamerlane) within six months of his arrival.
