Cudi was born and raised in Ohio, and his lyrics frequently explore his introspection inspired by perceived hardships of growing up as a somewhat alienated struggling artist. Cudi began his musical career sometime during 2003, and left his hometown of Cleveland to fully embark on a musical career in New York City. In November 2007, he released the song "Day 'n' Nite", which garnered minor recognition on sites such as MySpace and various underground music blogs. It soon caught the attention of Plain Pat the following year, the then-manager of high-profile rapper Kanye West—whom Cudi originally met two years prior. West signed the artist to his label GOOD Music in a joint venture with Universal Motown Records, and the label would re-issue "Day 'n' Nite" as his debut single.

Cudi's debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day was released in September 2009 to critical acclaim and commercial success. The album was included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, received quadruple platinum certification from the RIAA, three Grammy Award nominations, and is often lauded as his signature project.

Aside from his solo career, Cudi is a member of WZRD, a rock band and production team he formed with longtime friend and collaborator Dot da Genius. Additionally, Cudi is also one half of the hip hop duos Kids See Ghosts and The Scotts, alongside fellow American rappers Kanye West and Travis Scott, respectively. As of June 2020, Kid Cudi has sold a combined 22 million records in the US, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).^[1]
