He also programmed the drum patterns in Ableton.

In 2017, he co-wrote and produced Ravyn Lenae's entire EP Crush, which was released in February 2018.

Steve identifies as bisexual, stating that although he was always attracted to women, he repressed his attraction to men, feeling that he was committing sin as a Christian. After a male friend came on to/flirted with him on New Years 2017, he finally decided to embrace his bisexuality and is currently exploring his same-sex attraction.

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.
