“FGO” AND THE “DREAMTEAM”
Laroi's first collaborations helped him find his sound and build an audience with local artists and producers.
FROM
SYDNEY TO
STARDOM
The Kid Laroi, Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, grew up in Waterloo, a suburb in Sydney, AUS. He began recording music as a teenager, using his mother's phone and uploading tracks to SoundCloud. He worked at a fruit shop to help support his family, while looking for a way into the music world.
His background is closely connected to his Kamilaroi heritage through his mother’s side of the family. The name “LAROI” is a tribute to the Kamilaroi people, reflecting a part of his identity that he has spoken about wanting to carry with pride. His maternal great-great-grandfather was part of the Stolen Generations, adding another layer of history to his family’s connection to Indigenous Australia. As his music reached audiences around the world, LAROI continued to represent both his personal story and his Australian roots.
