The artist is only 20 years old and is already one of the top 150 global artists on Spotify. One reason for this is his hit single "Stay" feat.

As a participant in the Triple J Unearthed talent competition, he reached the final round and suddenly found himself in the spotlight . Initially much more in hip-hop and with a focus on rap, the Australian's sound has constantly changed. As support for Juice Wrld, with whom he had a friendly relationship,The Kid LAROIquickly managed to attract even more attention .His single "Let Her Go" marked his debut on Columbia in 2019 (at the age of 16) and eventually launched him onto the international scene . "Go" feat. Juice Wrld was released in 2020 after the US rapper's passing and ultimately gaveThe Kid LAROI his big international breakthrough ."GO" shows theartist's strong hip-hop side, which leaves enough room for rap and vocals with a catchy guitar lick and subtly minimalist trap beats, always keeping the focus on the lyrics.His single "Without You" is already scratching the magic billion mark with over 890 million streams .The Kid LAROI shows hisballadic side in a singer-songwriter aestheticwith acoustic guitars and vocals . In2020, he released his first mixtape "Fuck Love", which charted at number 1 in Australia and the USA and stayed in the charts for 164 and 100 weeks respectively, and only just missed the top of thecharts in New Zealand at number 2 (over 100 weeks in the charts) . Fuck Love"also achieved gold status in the UK and Switzerland, while it entered the German album charts at number 33 .
In2022 ,The Kid LAROI performed live in Germany and Europe for the first time with his "End Of The World Tour". In November 2023, the debut album "The First Time" was finally released, which started at number 3 in the ARIA charts and number 1 in the Australian Hip-Hop/R&B Albums and reached number 26 in the Billboard 200. On the record, "Love Again" stands out in particular: a track that, like "Without You" , is a balladic love song with minimalist acoustic guitar accompaniment and focuses entirely on The Kid LAROI and his unique voice, which has matured steadily over the years - like a good wine.
