Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard (born 17 August 2003), known professionally as the Kid Laroi (stylized as the Kid LAROI), is an Australian rapper and singer. He originally gained recognition for his association with American rapper Juice Wrld, who met Howard during his tour in Australia. As he gained a wider following, he was led by Juice Wrld to sign with Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions, in a joint venture Columbia Records.[2] He saw his recognition for his 2021 single "Stay" (with Justin Bieber), which peaked atop 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 atop the ARIA Charts—making him the youngest Australian solo act to do so—as well as the US Billboard 200.[3][4] It spawned two commercial re-issues: The first, titled F*ck Love: (Savage), yielded his first hit song, "Without You"—which was remixed with American singer Miley Cyrus and peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100—and the second, titled Love: Over You (2021), yielded "Stay".[5] 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. Howard claims that he does not have a single genre, and enjoys making both hip hop and pop music.
