Steve Lacy

Alternative R&B artist Steve Lacy is in a presumably small class of musicians who have co-produced a Grammy-nominated album while still in high school. Foremost a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer, the musician joined the Internet in 2014 and made his recorded debut on the band's Ego Death (2015), which the Recording Academy nominated for Best Contemporary Urban Album. Lacy has since worked on his bandmates' assorted solo releases and outside the group has become a highly sought-after collaborator across genres. J. Cole's Foldin Clothes, Kendrick Lamar's PRIDE., Tyler, The Creator's 911/Mr. Lonely, and Vampire Weekend's Sunflower were among the highlights added to his songbook through the tail-end of the 2010s. He has also released lazing, heartfelt solo material, including the EP-length "song series" Steve Lacy's Demo (2017), the Grammy-nominated full-length Apollo XXI (2019), and the Grammy-winning Top Ten follow-up Gemini Rights (2022).
