From 2000 - 2003, Hodges released a number of solo worship / Christian albums. While busy working on his own music, David has also been writing and producing songs for various artists. In 2007 he worked with Celine Dion (“This Time”) and the Backstreet Boys (“Something That I Already Know”). Hodges has also worked with superstar artist Kelly Clarkson, whom he dated, along with former Evanescence bandmate Ben Moody, on songs from her album Breakaway ("Because of You" and "Addicted"). The album went on to sell over 11 million records worldwide and garnered him the 2007 BMI Song of the Year honor, a rarely accomplished and prestigious award. "Because of You" went on to be re-cut by Reba McEntire & Clarkson for McEntire's duets album Reba Duets, that version peaked at #2 on the Hot Country Songs. In 2008, David had a hit as writer and producer for American Idol season seven runner up David Archuleta for his song "Crush." The song reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the highest chart debut of any single since January 2007. Hodges also wrote a hit song with Daughtry entitled "What About Now."
