DeAndre Allen-Toole
Music Composer
DeAndre Allen-Toole is a freelance composer originally from Detroit, Michigan, where he first began cultivating his love for music at a young age as a performer in various instrumental and vocal ensembles before expanding into composition, arranging, and production. In 2011, DeAndre started studying music composition at Wayne State University before transferring to Columbia College Chicago, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition in 2015. Acting on his long-standing interest in music for film, video games, and television, DeAndre enrolled in Columbia College Chicago's Music Composition for the Screen graduate program directed by Kubilay Uner, where he earned his Master of Fine Arts degree in 2017.
After relocating to Los Angeles, DeAndre interned with composer Mac Quayle before earning a coveted spot in the Television Academy Foundation's competitive summer internship program, during which he worked as part of Bear McCreary's team at Sparks & Shadows. After his time at Sparks & Shadows, DeAndre went on to orchestrate and write additional music for composer Josh Moshier on a currently unannounced DreamWorks Animation Television show while also assisting composer Heather McIntosh on a number of projects — the most recent being the CBS All Access series One Dollar. DeAndre then served as assistant to film composer Theodore Shapiro before returning to freelance composition/orchestration.
Outside of primarily working on his own music/projects, DeAndre currently continues to work closely with his close friend/mentor Heather McIntosh, as needed.
