Steve Williams (born 20 October 1971) is the keyboardist for British power metal band Power Quest[1] and former member of DragonForce.
Williams formed Power Quest in 2001 after leaving DragonForce (known at the time as DragonHeart) and has been their main songwriter and face of the band since then. In 2008 he accepted an offer from former Manowar guitarist David Shankle to join D.S.G., but left only a few months later.
Besides work with Power Quest, Williams has announced his intention to form a side-project band from Power Quest, "a new melodic hard rock band" with influences such as "Whitesnake, Dokken, Kiss, Ten and Saigon Kick".[2]
