'Bad Habit' Singer Steve Lacy Reveals 1 Video Game Put Him On 'A Lot' Of Music

Bad Habit musician Steve Lacy , who reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart earlier this year, opened up about his musical influences during an interview with The Guardian last week.

The singers comments come toward the end of an eventful 2022 which included his viral TikTok smash hit Bad Habit, four Grammy Award nominations and an appearance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live in November.

Former President Barack Obama also recently named Sunshine , Lacys song with Foushe, as one of his favorite songs from the past year.

Lacy, who has worked with stars such as Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar, told The Guardian that the video game Guitar Hero helped put him on to a lot of rock and guitar music, and as he aged he found pleasure in the songs of several other rockers.

As I got older, artists such as Paramore raised me. Mac DeMarco, Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend. Even Weezer Undone is one of my [favorite] songs ever, said Lacy, who later added that he likes indie act Faye Webster, as well.
