Grimes is the only girl in her family, but she's not the only one in the family with music talent. Her step-brother Jay Worthy is a famous musician and rapper, known for hits like "Never Miss" and "Susan," and half of the duo LNDN DRGS. 

LA Weekly describes Worthy in glowing terms, writing, "Jay Worthy can't be understood via online biography." Elevator calls Worthy a "west coast legend," praising him as "the underground voice of Compton, CA." According to Elevator, he is "highly respected" by his peers, such as "A$AP Yams, Curren$y, YG, and many more." So how did a kid from Vancouver become the underground voice of Compton?

In an interview with LA Weekly, Worthy explains that a situation occurred when he was 17, making it "imperative" for him to leave Canada. In 2004, Worthy left Vancouver for Los Angeles, staying at a friend's grandmother's house in Compton. According to LA Weekly, his new home was "smack in the Westside of Compton." His legendary music took off from there.

The talented rapper sings praise for his step-sister. In a 2016 interview, Worthy said, "Claire is one of the most talented producers of our time."

In the interview, Worthy talked about Grimes' album "Art Angels," saying that she "didn't cater to what the rest of the world was doing; she wasn't trying to make a pop record, even though it's considered a pop record and has mainstream success."
