Dez Wade

"We're making a music video. I'm the director, but I prefer the term "filmmaker""

- Dez in Rockers & Writers

Dezmond "Dez" is a 15 year-old aspiring director who films everything he can. He's the one who filmed Austin singing Ally's original song (Double Take) and posted it online. He is best friends with Austin. Dez easily annoys Trish a lot, but he never knows what he does wrong. Dez and Trish are currently frenemies. He is portrayed by Calum Worthy.

Personality
Dez is funny, random, and quirky guy. He is Austin’s best friend and also directs Austin's music videos. His weird habit of pulling anything and everything out of his backpack (like a ham or a turtle) amuses his friends. He really is one-of-a-kind. He has red hair and a rather large adams apple. He often notices when people or things look different, but he can never figure out what has changed. He can eat things that would be considered gross or inedible to most people.

Rockers & Writers
While trying to play a harmonica through a sousaphone, the harmonica gets stuck in an old lady on the other side of the room, but Dez is able to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on her. Later, Dez records a music video of Austin singing a song Ally wrote.

Kangaroos & Chaos
Dez, along with Trish, gather props for Austin's music video, but they misinterpret the writing Ally wrote down. Dez thinks that she wrote "I like it when you kangaroo" and orders a kangaroo. He later gets into a game of tug-of-war with the kangaroo over a jacket, which ends up in a large container of caramel. Dez explains that he didn't know whether the lyrics said "camel" or "caramel," and just got both. The door opens as a person comes in to deliver the camel, but Dez quickly closes it. Afterwards, when Face Puncher comes to get his jacket, Dez autographs his shirt with ketchup, and Face Puncher begins to chase him.

Secrets & Songbooks
Dez finds Ally's songbook and diary in the fridge, having used it as a roof for his gingerbread house. Then Dez and Austin come up with ways to read it, even thinking of putting it on the ceiling using jam. Austin thinks there won't be time to go to the store, but Dez already has multiple jams in his backpack. When they don't go with the ceiling plan, Dez eats all of the jam, saying he can't believe he did. Dez is later revealed to either be a terrible liar or scared of telling Ally and Trish that he and Austin read Ally's diary.
