Born and raised in Chicago, Stacy Kidd has always been into music every since he can remember. Growing up, Stacy was influenced by an array of music icons such as, Joe Sample, Earl Klugh, Stevie Wonder, Steve "Silk" Hurley, and Paul Johnson, just to name a few. The greatest of these influences is Stevie Wonder, whom Kidd says, "There would be no Stacy Kidd without Stevie Wonder." Kidd has been DJing since 1987 and producing since 1989. Stacy began releasing records in 1994. He met Paul Johnson in 1990 and from there things took off for Stacy. Since 1990, Paul & Stacy have been best friends and worked on a lot of projects together. In 1994, Stacy and Paul collaborated their talents to produce a record on Dance Mania Records entitled, "Stacy Kidd & Pilly P - Doin Thangs Vol.1." Following "Doin Thangs Vol. 1," Kidd and Johnson released another record called, "Vol. 2 - Stacy Kidd & Pilly P." Shortly thereafter, Stacy released his first solo project on Dance Mania, "15213 Loomis." After the release of "15213 Loomis," Stacy moved on to Cajual Records (Green Velvet's Label) to release the single, "What." Kidd soon returned with Paul Johnson to release another release on Dance Mania, Vol. 3 of "Stacy Kidd & Pilly P."
In 2003, Stacy Kidd is "HOT", he was recognized as one of the versatile up and coming producers in Chicago by DJ Magazine. Stacy also joined the Louie Vega and Kenny Dope (MAW) family on their new label "Kenlou Records". He released three records so far on the following labels: Music 101 Records (Chicago), Silk Entertainment Records (Chicago), Classic Records (London), and has five more coming this year, two from Bumpin City Records (Chicago), Kenlou Records (New York), After School Records (LA), Dusttraxx Records (Chicago).
