About The Kid LAROI

Born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard in Sydney, Australia on August 17, 2003, The Kid LAROI represents a new generation of hip-hop artists who blur the lines between rap, pop, and emo. His melodic approach and emotionally raw lyrics have connected with millions of fans worldwide, making him one of the most streamed artists of the past five years.

The Breakthrough

The Kid LAROI’s trajectory is a modern music industry success story—discovered through SoundCloud, mentored by the late Juice WRLD, and rocketed to global fame through viral streaming success. His 2020 mixtape F*CK LOVE became one of the most successful debuts in recent years, reaching number one in multiple countries.

But it was 2021’s “STAY” (featuring Justin Bieber) that made The Kid LAROI a household name. The track:

• Spent multiple weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100
• Became one of the most-streamed songs in Spotify history
• Earned multi-platinum certifications worldwide
• Established LAROI as more than a one-hit wonder

The Sound

The Kid LAROI’s music defies easy categorization. He blends hip-hop’s rhythmic foundation with pop’s melodic sensibility and emo rap’s emotional vulnerability. His lyrics explore heartbreak, fame, loss, and the complexities of growing up in the spotlight—themes that resonate deeply with Gen Z audiences.

Career highlights include:

• “STAY” (featuring Justin Bieber) – global smash hit
• “WITHOUT YOU” – emotional ballad that showcased his vocal range
• “GO” (with Juice WRLD) – tribute to his late mentor
• “Thousand Miles” – introspective track about distance and longing
• Collaborations with Miley Cyrus, Marshmello, and others

The Juice WRLD Connection

Before his tragic death in 2019, Juice WRLD took The Kid LAROI under his wing, bringing him on tour and teaching him about the industry. This mentorship profoundly shaped LAROI’s career and sound. He’s spoken openly about honoring Juice’s legacy while forging his own path.

Recent Evolution

The Kid LAROI’s recent work shows artistic growth beyond his breakthrough singles. His 2023 album The First Time showcased more mature songwriting and expanded production, while maintaining the emotional core that made him famous. The 2026 “A Perfect World Tour” supports his latest album cycle and represents his most ambitious live production to date.
