American composer, songwriter, and musician best known for his iconic scores and songs for the animated web series RWBY and other Rooster Teeth productions. Jeff Williams began composing professionally after years as a software developer. His career breakthrough came through scoring Rooster Teeth's popular web series Red vs. Blue. He gained widespread acclaim for creating the music, including opening themes and character songs, for the globally successful anime-style series RWBY. He frequently collaborated with his daughter, singer Casey Lee Williams.

• Despite achieving significant success in animation scoring relatively late in his career, Williams had no formal music education and was largely self-taught.
• His daughter, Casey Lee Williams, became the primary vocalist for his RWBY soundtracks starting as a teenager, creating a unique father-daughter musical legacy central to the show's identity.
• Williams died unexpectedly on May 2, 2024, at the age of 56. Rooster Teeth announced his passing was due to complications from acute pancreatitis (source: official Rooster Teeth statement).
