Steve Lacy’s catalog connects bedroom production, psychedelic soul, guitar pop, funk, and alternative R&B through songs that often sound casual even when every rhythmic and melodic detail has been carefully placed. From the iPhone-recorded intimacy of Steve Lacy’s Demo to the wider emotional and sonic range of Oh yeah?, his work has continued moving between concise hooks, layered studio experiments, and collaborations that blur the line between performer and producer.

Steve Thomas Lacy-Moya was born in Compton, California, in 1998. He began playing guitar as a child and later studied at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles. His early production experiments used GarageBand and an iPhone, tools that became central to the sound and mythology of his first professional recordings.
Lacy joined The Internet while still in high school and contributed guitar, songwriting, and production to the group’s 2015 album Ego Death. The record received a Grammy nomination and introduced his economical guitar style and unconventional production approach to a much wider audience.
The six-song Steve Lacy’s Demo EP arrived in February 2017. “Dark Red,” “Ryd,” “Some,” “Thangs,” “Haterlovin,” and “Looks” established his solo identity through compressed arrangements, funk guitar, layered vocals, and recordings created largely with mobile equipment.
Lacy remained active with The Internet on Hive Mind in 2018 while also contributing as a performer, writer, or producer to recordings by artists including Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, Solange, Vampire Weekend, Kali Uchis, Mac Miller, Ravyn Lenae, and Thundercat.
His debut studio album, Apollo XXI, was released in May 2019. Its twelve tracks included “Only If,” “Playground,” “N Side,” “Hate CD,” “Like Me,” “Love 2 Fast,” and “Outro Freestyle/4ever.” The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
The Lo-Fis followed in December 2020 as a compilation of early recordings, demos, and short-form experiments. Its fifteen tracks included “Infrunami,” “Atomic Vomit,” “Jars of It,” “Daze,” “When I,” “Hummer,” and “The Song.”
The second studio album, Gemini Rights, arrived in July 2022. “Bad Habit” became Lacy’s first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album won the Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album. The ten-song record also included “Mercury,” “Helmet,” “Static,” “Sunshine,” “Amber,” and “Give You the World.”
Lacy returned in August 2025 with the standalone single “Nice Shoes.” The recording became the first public preview of the period that produced his third studio album, although the album later used the expanded title “nice shoes / in your world.”
Oh yeah? was released on July 17, 2026. The ten-song album included “is it cool?” featuring SZA, “pure colour” featuring Erykah Badu, “lovesexdrugbomb” featuring Cecile Believe, “the feeling,” “doom,” “nothing,” “show you me,” and “bebe.”
