About Dave Berg
It's no surprise that ASCAP named Cal IV
songwriter, Dave Berg, Songwriter Of The Year in 2008 and NSAI named Dave Berg
Songwriter Of The Year in 2007. Penning Number One Hits for Keith Urban, Rodney
Atkins and Emerson Drive, Dave is the newest recipient of the Country Music
Association's coveted Triple Play Award for achieving three number one singles
within a twelve-month period. His breakout run began in 2004 when his hit,
"Somebody," performed by Reba McEntire, went #1. Then in 2006, Dave celebrated a
four-week number one for Rodney Atkins' "If You're Goin' Through Hell (Before
The Devil Even Knows)." This smash was honored as the R&R/Billboard Country
Single of the Year for scoring the most airplay of any Country song in 2006 and
received nominations at the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Billboard
Music Awards for Song and Single of the Year, respectively. Shortly thereafter,
Keith Urban's recording of "Stupid Boy" climbed to #1 on Music Row's Breakout
chart, earning Dave a nomination for CMA's Song Of The Year Award. Other current
and recent singles include Emerson Drive's #1 hit, "Moments," Rodney Atkins
latest #1, "These Are My People," Blake Shelton's top 15 single "Don't Make Me,"
Sarah Buxton's debut single "Innocence," Chris Cagle' single "What Kind Of
Gone," and Bucky Covington's latest single, "It's Good To Be Us."
Originally from Portland, Oregon, Dave moved to Nashville as his Ty Herndon
single "I Want My Goodbye Back" hit the Top 5. Since then, Dave's songs have
been recorded by country music legends and rising stars alike, including Tracy
Lawrence, Terri Clark, Tracy Byrd, Ronnie Milsap, The Warren Brothers, Lorrie
Morgan, Katrina Elam, and Jimmy Wayne, to name a few. Dave has recently enjoyed
international success with songs on projects ranging from the #1-selling
Hungarian album, to the top-selling record and ad campaign for Chinese recording
artist and movie superstar, Aaron Kwok.
A successful independent artist in his own right, Dave has recorded two
critically acclaimed albums Surface and Three Perfect Days. To learn more about
