After spending decades working in the customer service industry, Steve appeared in roles with his brother Bobby on Mad TV.

David Choe & Mangchi

Through Bobby, Steve met esteemed underground artist David Choe and Choe loved Steve so much, that around 2015, he brought him on David's famous podcast DVDASA (Double Vag Double Anal Sensitive Artist), a lifestyle, relationship and entertainment podcast with co-host Asa Akira.[8] In 2014 David also started a punk band Mangchi which means ‘Hammer’ in Korean, with Steve Lee as the frontman.[4][9][10] Mangchi has toured America and appeared at many famous events including Steve Aoki's fashion show in 2017[11][12] as well as the 2018's Grizzly Fest.[13][14] Steve Aoki has also collaborated with Mangchi releasing remixes of the group's songs.[15][16]

The Steebee Weebee Show

Inspired by his brother Steve also started a podcast called The Steebee Weebee Show. The format usually follows a musical intro and guest interview that lasts for around an hour followed by a musical animation created by Lee and later in collaboration with his girlfriend. In an interview with Asa Akira, Steve says that he makes enough money with his podcast to pay his rent.[18] As the host of The Steebee Weebee Show he also himself interviewed countless celebrities including Sasha Grey, Asa Akira, reclusive artist Neckface, Beastie Boys' member Mark Ramos Nishita, aka Money Mark and many more.[19]
