With over a half dozen singles racing up the charts in recent months, Cal IV songwriter Dave Berg has become one of Nashville's hottest hitmakers. His breakout run began in 2004 with his first #1 hit "Somebody" performed by Reba McEntire. 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 for 2006 and was also nominated at the Billboard Music Awards for Single of the Year. Other current and recent singles include the Top 5 hit "Stupid Boy" recorded by Keith Urban, "Don't Make Me" performed by Blake Shelton, "Moments" performed by Emerson Drive and Sarah Buxton's debut single "Innocence."

Originally from Portland, Oregon, Dave moved to Nashville as his Ty Herndon single "I Want My Goodbye Back" became a Top 5 hit. Since then, Dave's songs have been recorded by country music legends and rising stars alike, including Tracy Byrd, Ronnie Milsap, Terri Clark, The Warren Brothers, Lorrie Morgan, Katrina Elam, Jimmy Wayne, Bucky Covington and Tracy Lawrence, to name a few. Dave has recently enjoyed international success ranging from a spot on the #1 album in Hungary to a major ad campaign for Chinese recording artist and movie star 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 Dave, visit www.myspace.com/davebergmusic.
