Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi,[1] (born January 30, 1984)[2] better known by his stage name Kid Cudi (pronounced /ˌkɪd ˈkʌdi/ - Kid Cuddy) (sometimes stylised as KiD CuDi), is an American rapper. He first gained major attention after the release of his debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi. In 2009, his single "Day 'n' Nite" reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. "Day 'n' Nite" is part of Cudi's upcoming album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Cudi has also worked with Kanye West, Common, and other artists signed to the GOOD Music label.
Mescudi was born in Cleveland, Ohio to a Mexican-Native American father and an African-American mother and lived in low-income housing in the diverse suburb of Shaker Heights.[1][3][4]. His mother was a middle-school choir teacher while his father was a house painter, substitute teacher and World War II Air Force veteran. Mescudi's father passed away from cancer when he was just eleven-years-old; his death would have a significant effect on his personality and subsequently his music.[5] Mescudi attended Roxboro Middle School and Shaker Heights High School for two years before transferring to Solon High School. It was towards the end of high school that Mescudi began rapping, inspired by hip hop groups such as The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest. After earning his GED, he studied film at the University of Toledo, then dropped out after his freshman year.[6] He moved to Brooklyn, New York at the age of 20' to pursue his dreams of a music career.[1] He released his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in collaboration with New York street-wear brand 10.Deep as a free download.[7] The mixtape quickly caught the attention of Kanye West, which in turn spawned his signing to GOOD Music later that year.
