Choir Soundtrack (2024): Choir is a six-part Disney+ documentary series directed by Rudy Valdez, produced by Imagine Documentaries, Blumhouse Television, Maniac Productions, and Campfire. The series follows the Detroit Youth Choir (DYC) as its members prepare for a milestone performance, guided by longtime director Anthony White.
The docuseries is inspired by the real-life story of Anthony White, DYC’s artistic director, who has mentored and empowered more than 1,000 children through music over more than two decades in Detroit. White and the choir captivated the country during their run to the finale of Season 14 of America’s Got Talent in 2019, where the group placed second nationally – the achievement that first put DYC in the national spotlight and set up the story this series tells.
The series revolves around the kids of the Choir as they prepare for the show of life and navigate the highs and lows of balancing their dreams and everyday realities growing up in Detroit.
Executive producers include Rudy Valdez, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Justin Wilkes, Sara Bernstein, Ryan Miller, Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, Gretchen Palek, and Michael Seitzman.
Score & Composer
DeAndre James Allen-Toole and Jongnic Bontemps composed the original music for Choir. The pair has collaborated on other scoring projects together, including Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023).
DeAndre James Allen-Toole is known for his work on Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), God’s Country (2022), and 4400 (2021).
Jongnic Bontemps is an American composer and musician who has scored films, shorts, documentaries, television series, and video games, including Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), Jagged Mind (2023), Alley Way (2023), and College Behind Bars (2019).
Because Choir is a documentary series built around the Detroit Youth Choir’s own performances, its soundtrack leans heavily on the choir’s live vocal arrangements alongside Allen-Toole and Bontemps’ original underscore, rather than a conventional song-by-song licensed soundtrack.
