David Lee is a Grammy nominated and multi-award winning songwriter who cut his teeth in the Texas honky tonks. Playing a mix of blues and country music is where he first found his own songs.
In 1993 David moved to Nashville to chase his dream of performing and writing music. Only weeks after arriving in Nashville, David put away the idea of performing and focused on honing his craft. In 1996, three years of working part-time jobs so he could write, Lee signed an exclusive publishing deal. After a few years as a staff writer David and co-writer Tony Lane landed their first cut together “This Old Heart" on Terri Clark’s “How I Feel” CD in 1998 and in 1999 John Michael Montgomery’s title cut “This One’s Gonna Leave a Mark”.
His first Top 10 came with Leann Womack’s “Now You See Me Now You Don't" in 1999, followed by Brad Martin's "Before I Knew Better” in 2002. In 2003 David signed with BMG Music Publishing and co-wrote his first #1 song “19 Somethin” for Mark Wills, “Letters From Home” for John Michael Montgomery, “Roll With It” for Easton Corbin, and received a Song of the Year Grammy nomination for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s riveting love song “I NeedYou” followed by #1 hit “Lucky Man" performed by Montgomery Gentry.
Lee has also written hits for Alan Jackson’s “You Go Your Way”, Lady Antebellum’s “Hello World”, two Trace Adkins releases “I Wanna Feel Somethin" and “This Ain’t No Love Song” and has two #1 songs on the Texas chart from Cody Johnson. David has also written songs for Alabama, George Strait, Billy Currington, Clay Davidson, Kix Brooks, and many others.
In June of 2015 David relocated back to Texas hill country to be closer to friends, family, to share his love for great music as a performing singer/songwriter and away from thef orever-changing corporate music industry. He is back to the basics, back to what he loves, singing and performing great music.
