ABOUT KID CUDI
Scott Mescudi, professionally known as Kid Cudi, is a Grammy Award–winning musician, actor, director, author, fashion founder and visual artist whose work has reshaped modern culture. Since emerging in 2008, Cudi has built one of the most emotionally resonant catalogs in contemporary music, creating a blueprint for vulnerability, experimentation and genre-defying expression that continues to influence artists across generations. His debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, marked a cultural shift, introducing a new emotional language to mainstream music. Over the course of his career, Kid Cudi has released ten studio albums, sold more than 23 million records worldwide and maintained a rare longevity rooted in authenticity rather than trend. His influence remains active and visible, with early tracks such as “Maui Wowie” recently finding renewed life through viral momentum and reaching a new generation of listeners years after their initial release.
Kid Cudi’s most recent album, Free, represents a confident and expansive chapter in his evolution. The project reflects an artist fully in command of his voice, balancing introspection with clarity and forward momentum while reinforcing his role as a creative who continues to grow rather than repeat himself. Beyond music, Kid Cudi has established a substantial career in film and television. His acting work spans HBO, Amazon, Disney and major studios, with notable appearances in How to Make It in America, Westworld, Don’t Look Up, X, House Party and Bill & Ted Face the Music. He has collaborated with filmmakers across the industry, including projects with A24 and Warner Bros., and starred in films that range from large-scale studio releases to critically acclaimed independent work. His Amazon documentary A Man Named Scott further offered an intimate portrait of his personal journey and creative impact. In 2020, Kid Cudi founded Mad Solar, his production and creative company focused on developing music, film and television projects. He has continued to expand his storytelling through narrative short films, animation and cross-platform releases, most notably with Entergalactic, which launched alongside its Emmy-nominated animated companion on Netflix. In recent years, Kid Cudi has added author and visual artist to his creative portfolio. His memoir offers a deeply personal account of his life, mental health journey, and artistic evolution, further cementing his role as a voice of emotional honesty. As a visual artist, he has debuted original work in gallery settings, translating the same introspective themes that define his music into a new medium. In fashion, Kid Cudi continues to operate at the intersection of culture and design. His brand Members of the Rage (MOTR) debuted at Paris Fashion Week and reflects his long-standing influence on style, individuality, and self-expression. Across music, film, literature, fashion and art, Kid Cudi remains a singular creative force. His work consistently connects on a human level, not by chasing moments, but by building a body of work that endures.
