Tom Zanetti has a teenage son named Deaconn
Tom Zanetti might be a globetrotting international house music DJ and producer now, but he’s come a long way from his humble beginnings growing up as a teen dad in Leeds.
Speaking about becoming a dad, Tom told the BBC: “I just started working any job I could get. I was working in factories, 6 o’clock in morning, 6 o’clock at night, I was working as a butcher putting pork in pies on a conveyor belt. I was working at anything I could do - bricklaying, roofing, scaffolding…"Speaking previously, he said: "When my son was about 18 months old I met a girl called Lizzie. Lizzie was with me for a few years until I was about 21.
Tom has previously reflected on his experiences with grief, sharing on Instagram a tribute to Lizzie, and also to his grandfather who also died in a road accident. In 2016, he paid tribute to his girlfriend in an extended Instagram post saying the loss left him feeling helpless.“I don’t want to go into detail on how or give a big emotional speech because everyone who knew her and who knows me and my family knows how bad we miss her and she is very loved every day…
“I did anything I could to try and earn money legitimately to fund my son," he's previously explained. During the first lockdown, Tom took Deaconn out of school two weeks early and the pair spent 14 weeks together. The teenager has also starred in one of his dad's music videos.
