Carlos Cid, better known by his stage name CID, is a Grammy award-winning American DJ and producer based in New York City.
He started DJing at 12 years old. In his youth, he would board a bus to a record shop miles away every week, which shaped interest in his musical styles and genres. He had always taken an interest in house music, but the DJs he idolized were known for their music, not their performances as DJs. CID was inspired by this to begin producing his own music. He enjoyed the production side of music, so he stopped DJing for a while. He has won a Grammy for his production with Cedric Gervais’ remix of "Summertime Sadness".
CID released "Sweet Memories" with Kaskade. In 2016, he premiered his dance track titled "Together". They later collaborated with Galantis to remix the latter's original song titled "Pillow Fight". CID released a single titled "Secrets" in collaboration with Australian singer/songwriter Conrad Sewell via Big Beat Records. He said Sewell was someone he had been wanting to work with. An official music video was released on 3 February 2017.
