1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Steve Lacy has had

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: a lot of success and a lot before he was

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: even out of high school, largely thanks to his writing

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: plus producing, getting nominated for a Grammy at seventeen, but

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 1: none of that comes close to what he's accomplished in

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: two with Bad Habit, reigning as one of the year's

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: most successful songs, and none of his most recent accomplishments

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: might have been possible if not for an incredibly unlikely

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: source of inspiration, a major car accident in twenty that

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: made him re examine his life. He tells Variety, it

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: was a wake up call in some ways. The message

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: was stopped playing. It gave me a second to take

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: a step back and observe everything. And I look at

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: all these things and came to a realization, I'm running

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: away from my own divinity by just playing around with

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: music and not taking it seriously enough. My head was

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: at the ceiling and I wanted to fly. I didn't

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: know how to process success at a young age, but

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: after the accident, it gave me a chance to move

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: forward and move forward. He certainly did, all the way

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: to number one on American Top forty that habits out now,

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: that's direct from Hollywood.
