Early life
Steve Lacy was born on May 23, 1998, in Compton, California, United States.[6] He met former band member of The Internet, Jameel Bruner[2], while in the jazz band at the high school they both attended. Steve got his start by producing beats on his iPhone, making his first songs on the device, using a plug-in piece for his guitar, called an iRig.[9][10][11]
Musical career

In 2013, he began producing on what would become The Internet's third studio album, Ego Death.[2] Contributing on the production of 8 tracks, Ego Death was nominated at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album.[5] After it was announced that The Internet members would release solo projects, Steve Lacy appeared on Matt Martians' The Drum Chord Theory and Syd's Fin.[12] He also began producing songs for Twenty88, Denzel Curry, Isaiah Rashad, J. Cole, GoldLink, and Kendrick Lamar, among others. On February 17, 2017, Steve Lacy's Demo was released, with Steve having created most of the song-series on his iPhone, producing the guitar and bass arrangements and singing his vocals right into its built-in microphone.[13][14] He also programmed the drum patterns in Ableton.[15][16]
