Grant Decouto, better known as “Deko,” is a Grammy Nominated, Multi-Platinum Music Producer. He has worked with Migos, Gucci Mane, K Camp, Chris Brown, and more. Deko was raised in Atlanta, specifically the suburbs of Roswell and has been infatuated with music and art since his childhood. Inspired by watching his older brother make beats on Fruity Loops, Deko started experimenting with music production as early as 5th grade.[1]
Deko withdrew from high school in his junior year to pursue music full-time. At the primal stages of his career, Deko joined OG Maco’s collective OGG. He produced OG Maco’s “Want More”[2] and immediately garnered buzz amongst industry tastemakers.
In 2015, Deko produced Migos hit single “One Time” [3] and it led to a publishing deal with Warner Chappell. Throughout his deal, Deko also co-produced "1Hunnid" by K Camp + Fetty Wap, "Slippery" by Migos + Gucci Mane, "Sensei" by Chris Brown and many more.[4]
In 2017, Deko launched MERGE!, an EDM production trio along with frequent collaborators OG Parker and Tee Romano.[5] The project released its first song, "Trouble In The City", on Spinnin' Records in 2018.
