Bio:
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Kid Cudi—aka Scott Mescudi—is the heart and soul of a generation that found solace in his raw, introspective rhymes. Dropping his debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi in 2008, he caught Kanye West’s ear with the haunting “Day ‘n’ Nite,” a track that climbed the Billboard charts and became an anthem for lonely dreamers. Signed to GOOD Music, his 2009 album Man on the Moon: The End of Day redefined hip-hop with its blend of spacey beats, rock influences, and confessions of depression and alienation. Cudi’s also a screen star, acting in films like Don’t Look Up and Entergalactic, his 2022 Netflix animated project tied to his album. With over 22 million records sold and two Grammys, Cudi’s music—shared on Spotify, Apple Music, and beyond—carries Cleveland’s gritty spirit and a universal ache, making him a beacon for those chasing light in the dark.
