He met former band member of The Internet, Jameel Bruner, while in the jazz band at the high school they both attended. Steve got his start producing by making beats on his iPhone, creating his first songs on the device, using a plug-in piece for his guitar, called an iRig.
In 2013, he began producing on what would become The Internet's third studio album, Ego Death. Contributing on the production of 8 tracks, Ego Death was nominated at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album...
