Though he’s usually spotted on red carpets with his parents and sister Ava, Deacon made his music debut back in 2020 with Long Run featuring Nina Nesbitt. The song even made it in the top 20 iTunes charts, per Yahoo News!

For his second single, Phillippe released Love For the Summer with vocalist and TikToker Loren Gray, embracing a unique blend of EDM and country vibes. The youngster told Billboard that the song was the product of his love for country music, as he grew up between Los Angeles and Nashville.
