Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, professionally known as Kid Cudi, was born on January 30, 1984, and has since become a multifaceted artist, exceling as a rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor.
As a musician, Kid Cudi has had a profound impact on the hip-hop and alternative genres, with his lyrics often serving as a reflection of his own life experiences. He has openly addressed his struggles with depression, loneliness, and alienation during his childhood, as well as his later battles with substance abuse and addiction.
Throughout his career, Kid Cudi has explored a wide range of themes in his music, including spirituality, heartbreak, and celebration. His unique blend of introspective lyrics and atmospheric production has resonated with fans and peers alike.
Cudi's breakthrough came with the release of his debut mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in 2008. The project caught the attention of Kanye West, who subsequently signed him to his GOOD Music label imprint later that year.
