DaVon 'BiggVon' Phillips: Grammy-Winning Producer, Filmmaker, and Community Icon Redefining Entertainment in 2024

By Tammy Reese



In the heart of the entertainment industry, DaVon “BiggVon” Phillips stands as a visionary powerhouse, seamlessly blending the realms of music and film. An accomplished filmmaker, Grammy-winning music producer, multifaceted actor, influencer, and model, BiggVon’s art is defined by his unique ability to convey raw, evocative emotions through both sound and visuals. His dynamic work spans major feature films, music videos, documentaries, and live performances, with a signature style that captivates audiences across mediums.


A graduate of Eastern Michigan University, BiggVon embarked on his journey in 1999, starting as a music producer. Early collaborations with emerging and established artists helped him build a genre-defying sound that resonates deeply with listeners. His expertise in sound design laid a strong foundation for his work on film soundtracks and eventually on-screen roles, from appearances in hit TV shows to expanding parts in independent films. Today, BiggVon creates his own films, often starring in or making special appearances, bringing a deeply personal touch to each project. His films’ soundtracks showcase new Detroit artists, providing them with an invaluable platform to shine, and enhancing his films with immersive auditory experiences.


Beyond filmmaking, BiggVon’s contributions to the music industry are just as impactful. He has collaborated with an impressive roster of iconic artists, including Ice Cube, E-40, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, Eminem, Jeezy, Musiq Soulchild, and many others. He recently worked on Ice Cube’s upcoming album, set to release on November 24, and has been instrumental in the success of Mount Westmore, the supergroup featuring Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Too Short. BiggVon’s influence reaches across mainstream platforms, with music credits spanning HBO, Bravo, MTV, VH1, Fox, and collaborations with industry giants like Sony Pictures, Universal Music Group, and EA Sports.



BiggVon’s films are celebrated for their powerful and authentic storytelling, often exploring real-life themes such as male domestic violence, sex trafficking, mental health, and poverty. His most recent release, Toxsanity, which premiered on Tubi, Prime, Peacock, and BET+, has gone viral, sparking conversation and praise on social media. Viewers and “Tubi detectives” alike have embraced the film, analyzing everything from the raw performances of the cast to spotting minor filming quirks, all of which are being received with love and enthusiasm. This buzz reflects a milestone in BiggVon’s journey, showcasing his growth and determination to carve a space for himself in the entertainment industry.

His latest thriller, Demented: 5 Tales of Madness, now streaming on Tubi and Prime, is another testament to his skill, pulling viewers into a suspenseful, twisted narrative that leaves them on the edge of their seats. Both films highlight BiggVon’s dedication to storytelling and his evolution as a filmmaker, marking his ascent in the entertainment industry.


Beyond his accomplishments in film and music, BiggVon remains deeply committed to his values and his community. A devoted family man, he cherishes his close bonds with his mother, daughter, brothers, and especially his granddaughter — the girl who stole his heart. His love for family is matched by his dedication to giving back; he actively supports youth initiatives, assists the elderly, and works tirelessly to uplift those in poverty-stricken communities. Through his work, he hopes to inspire, uplift, and provide hope to those who need it most.


BiggVon attributes his many accomplishments and blessings to his faith, giving credit to the Almighty God in Jesus’ name. This grounding in faith has guided him through the peaks and valleys of his career, motivating him to continuously push boundaries and stay true to his purpose.


Looking ahead, BiggVon is set to expand his creative reach even further. His upcoming podcast, Keep It Real: Tell Us How You Feel, launching at the start of 2025, will feature candid, powerful conversations with notable guests. Additionally, his sketch comedy series, Twisted Humor, promises laughter and excitement, while several more films are currently in development.



Based in Atlanta and Detroit, BiggVon is committed to breaking new ground in film and music, creating experiences that resonate deeply and leave lasting impacts. With every project, he continues to raise the bar, embodying the artistry, faith, and vision that make him one of the ntertainment industry’s most compelling voices. BiggVon’s vision for the future is clear: to keep pushing the limits of creative expression while staying deeply rooted in his core values. As he launches into this next phase of his journey, fans and followers eagerly await his new releases, knowing each project will not only entertain but inspire. Whether through his impactful films, chart-topping music productions, or his community-driven efforts, DaVon “BiggVon” Phillips is a beacon of authenticity and resilience, proving that true success comes from not only talent but also heart and purpose.
