About
A native of Compton, California, Lacy became interested in the guitar while attending church. His mother obliged him by buying him his first instrument and lining up lessons. Befriended in high school jazz band by upperclassman Jameel Bruner, Lacy entered the orbit of the Internet, and in 2014 joined Bruner's band as they worked on their third studio LP. Using mobile device applications, he co-produced over half of the songs on Ego Death, released in June 2015. The album, which also featured Lacy's multi-instrumental work, entered the upper half of the Billboard 200 and was subsequently nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Urban Contemporary Album. During 2016, the year he finished high school, he began his self-termed "song series" with the funky, easygoing "C U Girl," and branched out with contributions to recordings by Denzel Curry and Kali Uchis, as well as Jhené Aiko and Big Sean's TWENTY88 project, and Isaiah Rashad. He also co-produced "Foldin Clothes" for J. Cole's Billboard 200-topping 4 Your Eyez Only.
