He is now Los Angeles-based, where he lives with his mother and younger brother. Australian rapper The Kid Laroi has shared a new single, ‘Tell Me Why.’. Laroi's real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, and he previously used the stage name 'Charlton' before changing it to the artist name 'Laroi', a tribute to his great-great-grandfather's Aboriginal nation. Hailing from Waterloo (near Redfern, Sydney), he is of Kamilaroi (or Gamilaraay) descent through his great-great-grandfather (a member of the Stolen Generations). One year later he was the youngest ever winner of APRA's song of the year award. In 2021 and at only 17 years old, The Kid Laroi became the youngest solo artist ever to hit number one on the Aria album charts for his album 'F*ck Love (Savage)'.
