Walter Marcellus (aka “Marc”) Lacy is the second child and first son of three children born to Walter and Julianne White Lacy. Alongside maintaining a current residence in his birthplace of Huntsville, Alabama, Marc has also resided in Korea and Germany. In having been well schooled and traveled; his knack for creative writing and poetry was discovered at an early age. In high school, Marc received numerous awards for his excellence in the areas of English, German, Political Science, Mathematics and Athletics.

Mr. Lacy is a Cum Laude Mechanical Engineering graduate of Alabama A&M University (AAMU).

Marc is most noted for his smooth flowing lyrics and creative mind which are exuded in his eloquently written poetry. But also a beast is awakened within as he delivers his often-charged and thought provoking spoken word performances. The energy within Marc’s work can certainly be attributed to his strong faith in God.
