Her parents separated when she was young, although her father took her to many of his shows. At age 17, Holly began playing one of her father's guitars, and soon began writing songs.
Williams graduated from Brentwood Academy and decided to study piano. Citing the Rolling Stones, Elliott Smith, and Neil Finn as influences, she began to perform as well.2 Eventually she was signed on to Ron Sexsmith's European tour. After the release of her first EP in 2003, signed with Universal South Records and toured with Billy Bob Thornton. Universal South released her debut album, The Ones We Never Knew, in 2004.21 The album produced no chart singles, however, and she was dropped from the label.
In March 2006, Williams was injured in a car crash and canceled a European tour, but she began touring again in November 2006. She signed in 2009 with Mercury Nashville Records.
