About Dave

Dave LaGrande is a U.S.-based composer and producer specializing in original music for film, television, animation, and educational media. His scoring credits include the feature film The Legend of Lake Hollow (2024), animated series such as Tom the Tow Truck and Robofuse (Roku / YouTube), and commissioned works for short films with StoryGive and the Nashville Filmmakers Guild. He is also active in children’s media, currently producing music for a major K-2 educational curriculum project with Zaner-Bloser, set to launch in 2026.

Dave has collaborated with directors and producers not only across the United States but also internationally, including in the UK, Indonesia, and the Canary Islands. His work has earned sync placements around the globe—from Europe and Asia to Australia—as well as on major U.S. network and cable outlets such as Comedy Central, WWE, and more.

Having spent nearly 15 years in Nashville, TN, Dave balanced a career of touring and recording—most notably with the platinum-selling band Sister Hazel (2012–2023)—while also building his scoring portfolio through collaborations with filmmakers and organizations such as StoryGive and the Nashville Filmmakers Guild. During that time, he performed worldwide, including on The Today Show and the Grand Ole Opry, and forged lasting relationships with top talent that continue to fuel collaborations today across major music hubs like Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York.

The real-world experiences of touring and working at the highest professional levels of the music business have shaped Dave’s approach to composing, giving him a unique perspective on collaboration, storytelling, and artistry. These experiences have helped him earn the respect of peers across industries and continue to inform the distinctive voice he brings to each project.

Working from his home studio, Dave crafts bespoke scores that serve the story first—whether orchestrating for large or small ensembles, arranging for string or horn sections for local groups or producing the occasional MIDI programmed in the box passion project. His collaborative approach and wide stylistic range allow him to deliver music that enhances narrative, engages audiences, and resonates across borders.
