Steve Lacy In Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Steve Lacy grew up in Compton and South Los Angeles, and he didn't start out with fancy studio gear. He picked up a guitar at 13, taught himself using YouTube videos, and by 15 he was already producing beats on his iPhone in his bedroom. That scrappy, DIY setup became his signature sound, and it's a big part of why people love him.

Before Going Solo

Steve's break came through his high school jazz band, where he met a member of the R&B group The Internet. He joined the band in 2013 as their teenage guitarist and producer, still in high school at the time. In 2015, The Internet's album Ego Death earned a Grammy nomination, and Steve hadn't even graduated yet. That early success gave him the confidence to go out on his own.

Going Solo

In 2017, Steve released Steve Lacy's Demo, an album he made almost entirely by himself. It was raw, lo-fi, and different from anything else out at the time, and it put him on the map as an artist to watch, not just a producer for other people.

The Hits

Here are Steve Lacy's five most-streamed songs on Spotify:

1. "Dark Red" – his biggest song by far, with over 2 billion streams
2. "Bad Habit"
3. "Infrunami"
4. "C U Girl"
5. "Some"

Now He's in Spider-Man

Steve Lacy's song "Oh Yeah?" plays during the end credits of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026). Lacy confirmed it himself, and it's a fitting way to close out the movie with his laid-back, funky sound.

Not His First Time Near a Blockbuster

Steve Lacy's music had actually touched a big movie once before. Back in 2021, he co-wrote the song "Sticky" for the horror hit Candyman, but that track was sung by Ravyn Lenae, not him. "Oh Yeah?" is different, it's his own song, in his own voice. That makes Spider-Man: Brand New Day the first time Steve Lacy's own music has landed in a movie this big.
