Early Life & Education
Nicholas “Nick” Fosco, known online as Lacy, was born on February 18, 2003, in Erie, Pennsylvania. Raised in Erie, he grew up in a household where his parents, Michael Fosco and Maria Fosco, initially limited his access to video games during his younger years, emphasizing other activities, such as sports.
His surname, Fosco, of Italian origin meaning “dark” or “gloomy,” likely reflects Italian heritage through his family line, common in regions like Pennsylvania with historical Italian-American communities.
From a young age, Nick enjoyed watching shows like Spider-Man and Disney XD. He developed an early interest in basketball and played the sport during high school at Mercyhurst Preparatory School.
Gaming entered his life more prominently in high school when he discovered Fortnite on Xbox, quickly excelling at it and gaining popularity among peers. Despite parental restrictions on gaming until later in his teens, he convinced his parents to gift him a PC for Christmas so he could pursue his growing passion.
Nick has at least one brother, Lucas Fosco, with whom he has shared on-stream moments, such as emotional reunions and activities, and he has referenced a sister in passing. His family has remained largely private, though supportive; during college, he showed his father his early Twitch earnings, which convinced his dad to become his biggest advocate and allow him to drop out to focus on streaming full-time.
He briefly attended college but found it unfulfilling and left around 2023, relocating to Texas that April to chase content creation. On ethnicity, his Italian-rooted surname aligns with his background.
In late 2024, during holiday streams, Lacy revealed Jewish heritage on his mother’s side, sharing family connections within the streaming world and engaging with traditions like Hanukkah, adding a layer to his personal identity he had not previously highlighted publicly. Religion was not a major discussed topic earlier in his life or career.
Career
Nick “Lacy” Fosco started his content creation and gaming career with humble beginnings, but quickly became a major presence in the Fortnite and Twitch communities. He launched his Twitch channel (@LacyHimself, now often just Lacy) on February 22, 2020, streaming Fortnite to only 3-4 viewers at first.
With encouragement from his younger brother Lucas, Lacy kept going even when growth was slow. He started his main YouTube channel, Lacy Live, on May 10, 2020, and posted his first video—a montage of switching to keyboard and mouse in Fortnite set to Juice WRLD‘s “Righteous“—on June 7, 2020.
Lacy‘s big break came from creating entertaining Fortnite content, especially by trolling well-known streamers like Clix. His donations and in-game antics led to shoutouts and collaborations. By moving his streams to the morning (9-10 AM until about 3:45 PM) to avoid competing with others, he raised his average viewers from 80-100 to over 500.
His funny, interactive approach, with viral clips, trolling, community involvement, and later IRL content, helped him grow quickly. Lacy branched out to games like Rocket League, Valorant, and Call of Duty, and also played in Fortnite tournaments.
He was part of teams like YJM Esports.NA, Team Summit, TEAM AKA, and CCE UCX (joining in July 2023) before joining FaZe. A major milestone came on May 1, 2024, when he joined the new FaZe Clan creator roster with JasonTheWeen, FaZe Silky, and PlaqueBoyMax (FaZe Max). This boosted his profile through collaborations, group content, and FaZe’s platform.
While with FaZe, Lacy saw huge growth, including high subscriber rankings and a peak of 110,865 viewers on August 28, 2025. He expanded his content by launching a second YouTube channel, Lacy IRL, on February 28, 2024 (first vlog on August 3, 2024), and a VODs channel, Lacy VODS, on September 14, 2024, for full stream archives.
He also built strong followings on TikTok, Instagram (@lacy.himself), and X, ranking among the top Fortnite creators and U.S. influencers. By 2025-2026, Lacy was a top streamer with over 2.2 million Twitch followers, high rankings (including #12 on Twitch in 2025), more than 110,000 active subscribers at his peak, and average viewership of 15,000-18,000 during active periods.
He earned income from Twitch subscriptions and donations, sponsorships (such as YoungLA), merchandise, and brand deals. Lacy‘s time with FaZe ended during organizational changes. On December 25, 2025, he announced on X that he was leaving FaZe Clan, along with others like FaZe Adapt, Stable Ronaldo, JasonTheWeen, and FaZe Silky. No detailed reason was given, but it was part of a larger group of creators leaving due to internal disputes and contract issues.
Later, FaZe said they were shifting their focus to esports. After leaving FaZe, Lacy continues as an independent, full-time streamer and creator based in Texas (he moved there in 2023). He is known for his humor, long streams, community trolling, sharing his weight-loss journey, and engaging in IRL and vlog content.

Personal Life
Nick “Lacy” Fosco is 22 years old, born on February 18, 2003.

Net Worth
Nick “Lacy” Fosco‘s net worth is estimated to fall between $500,000 and $1.5 million.
This range reflects his rapid growth as a top Twitch streamer and content creator, particularly following his peak performances in 2025—including record-breaking subscriber counts (over 110,000 at times), high viewership rankings, and significant earnings from platforms like Twitch subscriptions, ads, donations, sponsorships (e.g., brands like YoungLA), merchandise sales, and brand deals across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X.A notable indicator of his earnings came in early 2025 when Lacy revealed the IRS deducted approximately $550,000 in taxes from his account, suggesting substantial pre-tax income in prior periods.
Additional boosts included high monthly Twitch revenue (e.g., reports of $40,000+ weekly at peaks and strong subathon results in late 2025), though exact figures vary due to fluctuating viewership, platform cuts, and expenses like rent, production, and taxes.
As a former FaZe Clan member (departed December 2025) who built independently afterward, his wealth continues to grow through ongoing streaming, IRL content, and community-driven monetization, positioning him solidly in the mid-six-figure to low-seven-figure range among prominent Fortnite and Twitch personalities.
