The Kid Laroi

The Kid Laroi, born August 17, 2003, in Waterloo, Sydney—yeah, right in the heart of New South Wales, Australia—has been making serious waves lately. It’s almost wild how fast he went from local Sydney kid to global music phenomenon, but here we are. You might recognize him from a few big flicks, too. In Y2K (2024), he dives into the chaos of millennial panic and all the wild, tech-obsessed energy of that era. Talk to Me (2022) saw him in a totally different light—gritty, a bit darker, really flexing those acting chops. And, of course, there’s the massive blockbuster, Barbie (2023), where he popped up and honestly just added another layer of cool to the whole thing. What’s cool about Laroi is how he doesn’t just stick to one lane. Sure, the music is what skyrocketed him—those melodic hooks, that blend of hip-hop and pop, the kind of tracks you can’t get out of your head—but he’s got this screen presence, too. It’s like he just walks into a scene and instantly grabs your attention. Plus, there’s this raw, authentic vibe to whatever he does, whether he’s dropping a new single or showing up on the big screen. The kid’s got a knack for staying relevant, always bringing something fresh. Not many can pull that off. It’s almost like he doesn’t know how to miss.
