The Kid LAROI

Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard (born 17 August 2003), known professionally as the Kid Laroi (stylised as The Kid LAROI), is an Australian rapper, singer, and songwriter. He originally gained recognition from his association with American rapper Juice Wrld while he was on tour in Australia. He gained a local following before signing a joint venture record deal with Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions and Columbia Records. He garnered mainstream recognition with his 2021 single "Stay" (with Justin Bieber), which peaked the charts in numerous countries including his native Australia, as well as the Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100.

His debut mixtape, F*ck Love (2020), peaked at number one on the Australian ARIA Charts, making him the youngest Australian solo artist to reach the top of the chart, and also reached number one on the US Billboard 200. The mixtape spawned two commercial re-issues: The first, titled F*ck Love: (Savage) contained his first hit song, "Without You"—which was remixed with American singer Miley Cyrus and reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100—and the second, titled Love: Over You (2021) contained his biggest single, "Stay". His debut studio album, The First Time (2023) was preceded by the singles "Love Again" and "Too Much" (with Jungkook and Central Cee), and saw moderate success upon release in late 2023. Howard claims that he does not have a single genre, and enjoys making both rap and pop music.
