History
Nick Fosco was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on February 18, 2003. He grew up watching Spiderman and Disney XD, in which he wasn't allowed to play certain video games like Call of Duty because his parents didn't want him to see violence at a young age. Since he wasn't allowed to play certain video games, Fosco played a lot of sports, like basketball.[5]
At the beginning of High School, Fosco stumbled across Fortnite and decided to start playing the game on an Xbox. He immediately got good at the game and everyone at his high school wanted to play with him. He wanted to pursue a gaming career and asked his parents for a PC as one of his gifts for Christmas. On February 22, 2020, Fosco started his Twitch account, to show off his gameplay. Fosco's little brother, Lucas, encouraged Fosco to keep streaming and to do it as a career.[5]
On May 10, 2020, Fosco created his YouTube channel. He uploaded his first video onto YouTube on June 7, 2020, titled "So... I switched to keyboard and mouse." The video contained clips of him playing Fortnite with Juice WRLD's song "Righteous" for background music.[6]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fosco got barely any views because he rarely streamed. The pandemic affected his junior and senior years in High School. Once Fosco graduated, he tried to go to college, while working at two jobs, with those being a dishwasher at Panera Bread and a self-checkout person at Walmart. With going to college and having two jobs, Fosco barely had time to stream.[5]
After Fosco started trolling streamers, such as Clix by making them more upset than they already are. The clips would surface around social media such as TikTok which made more people check Fosco's Twitch and Twitter accounts out since they found Fosco funny. He went from averaging 6-7 viewers to 250 viewers in a year on Twitch. He would go live on Twitch from 10 AM to 3:55 PM because it was the exact time Clix went live and that's when everyone left his stream for Clix's.[5]
Both Fosco's jobs and college were holding him back from being successful, he claimed at once that he skipped 3 months of school, which made him have an F in every class. He wanted to tell his parents, but he wasn't sure how because his parents were old-school and didn't know if they'd support him or not. During Thanksgiving break, Fosco told his parents about skipping classes. He made a deal with them and said at the end of the semester he was going to drop out and move back home. At the end of the semester, he showed his father how much he made on Twitch at the time, which his father didn't believe him at first but then Fosco showed his father his bank account, which made his dad become his number one-supporter. He let Fosco drop out of college after he saw how much he made.[5]
In April 2023, Fosco moved to Texas and lived with Clix. Clix helped Fosco by paying his rent. Fosco usually showed up in Clix's streams with him.[5]
On February 28, 2024, Fosco created his second channel called Lacy IRL. On his second channel, he uploads vlog-related videos. His first and only upload was on August 3, 2024, titled "My First Vlog!". He promoted his vlogging channel for the first time on Instagram on January 4, 2025.[7]
On May 1, 2024, Fosco became a member of the reboot of FaZe Clan.[8]
On July 5, 2024, a missing 17-year-old boy from Michigan, Troy Colemen, was caught on Fosco's and Clix's stream in Miami. The kid had been missing for 3 months and his case was put as homicide. His older brother, Trent Colemen, later contacted Fosco about Troy being on the live stream and how Troy has schizophrenia.[9]
On September 14, 2024, Fosco created his third channel, Lacy VODS. On his third channel, he uploads his full live streams from Twitch. His first upload was on October 9, 2024, titled "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader With Max & Adapt | FULL STREAM."[10]
