The Kid LAROI, aka Charlton Howard, has achieved major successes since the release of his debut mixtape F*CK LOVE in 2020, which saw him winning Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year at this year’s APRA Music Awards.
His rise has been a meteoric one: after relocating to the US, he was mentored by the late rapper Juice WRLD, and worked alongside Miley Cyrus on a remix of his song ‘Without You’, which they performed together on Saturday Night Live.
The 17-year-old now has more than 26 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The Kid LAROI was raised in the south Sydney suburb of Redfern, growing a strong following after posting his music on Soundcloud and social media.
