Kid LAROI

About

Kid LAROI isn't just another Gen Z pop star; he's a raw nerve exposed, a vulnerability weaponized into chart-topping anthems. The Sydney-born Charlton Howard channels heartbreak and longing with a disarming sincerity that cuts through the noise. His sound is a potent blend of melodic trap, emo-rap vulnerability, and pop sensibilities, echoing influences from Juice WRLD (his early mentor) to Post Malone. LAROI's ascent was meteoric, fueled by early SoundCloud traction and collaborations within the Australian hip-hop scene. His move to Los Angeles and subsequent mentorship under Juice WRLD catapulted him onto the global stage. "Stay," his collaboration with Justin Bieber, cemented his status as a bonafide superstar, dominating charts worldwide and earning him countless accolades. Beyond the commercial success, LAROI represents a new generation's willingness to embrace vulnerability in their music. His lyrics, often intensely personal, resonate deeply with his young fanbase. Collaborations with artists like Miley Cyrus and Marshmello showcase his versatility and cross-genre appeal. Having navigated the rollercoaster of young fame, Kid LAROI is currently working on new music, hinting at a more mature and introspective sound, promising to peel back even more layers of his complex artistry.
