Dave Pahanish is an artist, a three time #1 hit Billboard Country songwriter and a producer. Dave penned Toby Keith’s “American Ride”, Jimmy Wayne’s “Do You Believe Me Now?” (also co-produced by Dave), and Keith Urban’s “Without You”.

Urban chose the song “Without You” because of how closely the lyrics fit in with his own life stating, “It’s the most autobiographical song I never wrote.” Pahanish wrote the song after meeting his wife’s family for the first time without realizing any similarities to Urban’s life. The song became Urban’s 12th No. 1 single.

Other notable cuts by Dave include Tim McGraw’s “Right Back Atcha Babe” and “The One That Got Away”, Jimmy Wayne’s “I Will” and Collin Raye’s “Divine Everlasting Love”.
