Australian rapper The Kid Laroi was born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard on August 17, 2003 in the Sydney suburb of Waterloo, to an Australian Aboriginal mother and a French father. He spent part of his childhood in the aridoutback, before returning to the metropolis. In 2015, he took his first steps in music under the pseudonym Charlton. It was then that he met his manager DJ Ladykiller, forming a duo with him called Dream Team. Charlton then changed his artistic identity to Kid Laroi. When the two artists went their separate ways, Kid Laroi made another decisive encounter: DJ Ziggy, who enabled him to sign with ART Management. With them, he recorded his first EP, 14 With a Dream. He then moved to Columbia and became a protégé of Juice Wrld, who hired him to support his tour. This sudden exposure fosters his emergence and the success of his single "Let Her Go" in 2019. The following year, he released "Diva" (No. 76), a duet with Lil Tecca, followed by "Go", which he had recorded with Juice Wrld before her death in December 2019. With the latter, he enters the US Billboard chart at #52. " Hate the Other Side", another collaboration with his late friend, reached number ten. In July 2020, The Kid Laroi released his first mixtape, F*ck Love (No. 1), which was shortly afterwards enhanced with previously unreleased material in an expanded version, featuring, alongside the single "Always Do", a number of high-profile collaborators such as Marshmello on "Feel Something" and "F*ck You, Goodbye " with Machine Gun Kelly. In 2020 and 2021, "Without You" (a duet with Miley Cyrus) and "Stay" (with Justin Bieber), featured on two reissues of the mixtape F*ck Love: F*ck Love (Savage ) and F*ck Love 3: Over You, respectively, were successive No.1 hits. In 2022, "Thousand Miles" reached No. 4 in the U.S. , before the singles that would become part of his debut album The First Time (2023, No. 26 in the U.S.), including "Love Again" (No. 6) and "Too Much" with Jungkook and Central Cee (No. 10). The deluxe version adds new collaborations with Future, Baby Drill and Robert Glasper, as well as a new hit with the track "Girls", which reached #18 in Australia and #51 on the Billboard Hot 100. After making his film debut in 2024's Y2K and being the subject of the documentary Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About a Kid Named Laroi, he returned to music in 2025 with a series of singles including "How Does It Feel", "Hot Girls Problems", "A Cold Play" and "A Perfect World", which preceded the January 2026 release of his second album Before I Forget, ranked #2 in Australia and #6 on the Billboard 200.
