With one year left of college, Lacy entered the corporate world as a paid marketing intern, where just two weeks of being there motivated him to get serious about creating and managing his own music career. The idea of music was not a random epiphany by any means, Lacy had been "goofin' around" with music since his parents allowed him to dent-up their pots and pans soon after learning to walk. However, he did not get serious about playing music until his senior year of high school. At the age of 8, he started taking piano lessons with Kevin MacDowell. Much of these lessons involved more Frisbee playing and snacking than piano practice, but Lacy says that he was building something much more important than intricate musical skill. "I was learning that music is as much a logical puzzle of technique as a playful game of intuition. One year after his internship, Lacy graduated from Indiana University with his BA in English and a Minor in Music; then he began recording his debut album, First Step-- a 'Jiminy Cricket' like album that explores nostalgia and hopeful appreciation for the present and future from the perspective of a father figure guiding his son into adulthood.
