Kid Cudi is broadening his scope with the launch of his own production and music management company called Mad Solar — named after his 2013 song of the same name. According to Deadline, Cudi has teamed up with his manager Dennis Cummings and Karina Manashil to found the company, which is being backed by Canadian motion picture company Bron Studios to provide support in financing, marketing and sales.
“Beyond excited to be launching my production company Mad Solar and partnering with Bron, whose creative vision and storytelling has transformed the industry,” Cudi said in a statement. “I am so very proud of the slate that we are developing and can’t WAIT for you all to see what we got cookin’.”
