The Kid Laroi, born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard in 2003 and hailing from Waterloo, went from Australian teenager to global pop star at a speed that made heads spin. In 2019 he signed with Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions in partnership with Columbia Records, and his mixtape F*ck Love topped the ARIA Charts in 2020, making him the youngest Australian solo act ever to do it.
His sound sits at the crossroads of emo rap, pop-punk and glossy R&B: aching, melodic vocals over beats that borrow from hip-hop and guitar rock alike. "So Done" came first, "Without You" became his first real hit (and got a remix with Miley Cyrus), and then "Stay", his 2021 duet with Justin Bieber, went to number one around the world, in Australia and America among them. "Thousand Miles" kept things moving in 2022, and Billboard put him on its 21 Under 21 list in 2021.
His debut studio album The First Time arrived in 2023 with "Love Again", "Bleed" and "Too Much", a collaboration with Jung Kook and Central Cee. "Girls" and "Baby I'm Back" followed, and his second album, Before I Forget, with "A Cold Play", made the top five in both Australia and the US in 2026.
