Jeffrey D. Williams was the keyboardist in Trocadero, and like the band (who he met as Nico Audy-Rowland wanted to use Jeff's studio) is a composer for Rooster Teeth Productions. His first musical work was in The Strangerhood, where he and Nico worked under the name "The Uggos". Jeff later did most of the music for the seasons 8 through 10 of Red vs. Blue, and followed it by becoming the sole composer in RWBY until volume 8, working closely with rapper Lamar Hall, his ex-wife Sandy Lee Casey, and his daughter, Casey Lee Williams, as well as composing the RWBY scores with Alex Abraham and Steve Goldshein. He also worked in the scores for X-Ray and Vav and Lazer Team, contributed a song to Camp Camp (alongside Adrienne Cowan) under his project Black Science, and another to Gen:LOCK alongside Lydia Harrell. In 2023, it was announced that Jeff was retired from composing, with Casey taking over the score for volume 9.
Jeff lives in Massachusetts, where he's a professor at Berklee College of Music.
