Steve Lacy has signed with UTA, following his longtime agent Caroline Yim to her new home after her headline-making departure from WME earlier this year. It’s less a signing and more a realignment—the kind that happens when the artist and the architect know the blueprint still works.
Lacy continues to be repped for PR by The Oriel in the U.S. and August Agency in the U.K., which is to say: the team hasn’t changed, the table just got bigger.
With over 23.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify and top cities ranging from Los Angeles to Sydney, Lacy’s reach is global, but never generic. Gemini Rights, his genre-slippery 2022 album via RCA, delivered a No. 1 Billboard hit with “Bad Habit,” picked up a Grammy, and became the kind of project that both your alt-R&B cousin and your Vogue editor friend could quote from memory.
He’s not just touring—he’s curating moodboards onstage. Coachella, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Governors Ball… Lacy doesn’t play festivals so much as subtly rearrange their center of gravity. He drifts between high-fashion energy and DIY looseness like someone who knows the difference between a merch table and a capsule collection.
