Kid Skooba!: Building His Own World One Era at a Time

Written by Alexandria Anglade

Kid Skooba! never had a single turning point that pushed him toward music. Instead, it was a steady rhythm that followed him from childhood into adulthood. He grew up playing drums in church, joined bands, picked up guitar and bass from friends, and started making beats on his phone. When people would not rap on his beats, he did it himself. When no one had time to record him, he learned how to engineer on his own. Music was always there for him, and he built his entire foundation from pure curiosity and self-sufficiency. For Kid Skooba!, music is not just a passion. It is a lifelong companion that continues to evolve with him.

As both producer and artist, Kid Skooba! creates from instinct. His process is simple in theory and complex in emotion. He makes a beat, falls in love with it, holds it close, and eventually unlocks its potential when he steps into the studio with the right energy. Everything comes from whatever vibe he feels in that moment. There is no formula, no rigid structure, just feeling and flow.

His music is shaped by his own life, but he refuses to let the weight of the world consume the art. He gravitates toward songs that lift the spirit instead of dragging it down. Even when he explores heartbreak on “Memory Cards (Game Over)” or calls out being overlooked on “Mode,” his tone remains light, confident, and self-aware. To him, taking music too seriously drains the fun out of it, especially in an era where everyone creates. Kid Skooba! chooses to make music that feels free.

If he had to define himself in three words, he would choose Real, Unbothered, and Me. Every song comes straight from how he felt in the moment he created it. His artistry is rooted in honesty and presence. He does not chase trends, approval, or expectations. Instead, he documents his life as he learns, grows, and moves through new experiences. Whatever he is living through finds its way into his catalog.

Fans might be surprised to learn how much of his creativity is shaped by circumstance. Years ago, his recording setup was stolen, and with limited access to studios, he now works in eras. Each time he gets a chance to record, it becomes an “auditory photo dump” of everything he has lived since the last session. His sound shifts with each chapter. The current project sits in a Video Game and Rage era. Before that, he explored an Outerspace era. Now he feels something more glowing and energetic coming soon. Every project is a rebirth, and listeners get to watch him evolve in real time.

Collaboration is personal to Kid Skooba!. He values the moments behind the music more than any dream feature. Every collab reminds him of hanging out with friends, laughing, vibing, and creating something from nothing. He prefers being in the room with artists over emailing beats because the energy of real life is what leads to legendary moments.
