His debut mixtape, F*ck Love (2020), peaked at number one on the Australian ARIA Charts, making him the youngest Australian solo artist to reach the top of the chart, and also reached number one on the US Billboard 200.[2][3] The mixtape spawned two commercial re-issues: The first, titled F*ck Love: (Savage) contained his first hit song, "Without You"—which was remixed with American singer Miley Cyrus and reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100—and the second, titled F*ck Love: Over You (2021) contained his biggest single, "Stay".[4] 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 in late 2023. Howard claims that he does not have a single genre, and enjoys making both rap and pop music.
Early life edit
Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard[5] was born on 17 August 2003[6] in Waterloo, New South Wales, in the inner south of Sydney.[7] He has one brother Austin Howard.[8] His father, Nick Howard, is a music producer and sound engineer who has worked with Australian stars such as Bardot and Delta Goodrem. His mother, Sloane Howard, was a talent manager, record label founder and music executive of Aboriginal and European descent who once managed Popstars winner Scott Cain.[9][10]
Howard's maternal great-great grandfather was a part of the Stolen Generation of children of mixed Aboriginal descent; through this ancestor he is a Gamilaraay (or Kamilaroi) man, from which he derived his artistic name "Laroi".[11]
His interest in hip hop music began at the early age when his mother would played music around house from artists like Fugees, Tupac, Lil Wayne and Kanye West.[12] He later praised West and called his 2008' album 808s & Heartbreak "his favourite of all time".[13]
Howard's father was not a consistent force in his life and his uncle became his father figure as a result.[14] In 2015, Howard's uncle was murdered.[15] Howard attributes his inspiration to succeed to avoid a fate like his uncle and make him proud.[16][14] When Howard's parents separated when he was four, his childhood became more chaotic.[16][15] Howard said that sometimes his mother sold drugs to get by.[16][17] At the age of seven he moved to the rural town of Broken Hill in New South Wales and lived with his mother, brother and grandparents at the time.[7] He attended a private school, Sacred Heart Parish School, where he was a house captain and won a speaking award.[18] After leaving Broken Hill, Howard attended another private school, Sacred Heart College in Adelaide, for a period of time until he was bullied and his mother could not afford it anymore; they moved back to Sydney in 2017.[8][17]
In Sydney, Howard attended the Australian Performing Arts Grammar School on a scholarship, but he dropped out midway through year nine to pursue his international career.[19][20][21] During this period, his family lived in a Housing Commission building in Redfern and he drifted between friends' houses.[22][16] In a 2021 interview, he explained that his mother is his best friend and he wanted to help her through their tough financial situation, so he found a part-time job at a fruit store.[23]
In 2019, hip-hop podcast No Jumper filmed a documentary of Howard and his friends in Redfern as they describe the area as a "ghetto".[24][16] Howard detailed how he hustled to make it big outside of Australia by building international relationships and stated "I would go and wait outside hotel rooms for big artists that were coming to town. I'd try to play my music and find different ways to meet them or get backstage".[25] His tactics paid off when he sent a female friend on a mission to play his music to Swae Lee in a hotel.[25][26][23] It worked: he met and later collaborated with Swae Lee.[25]
Career edit
Early years edit
Howard started out recording raps over beats on his mother's phone and uploading them to SoundCloud.[27][28] In an interview with Triple J, Howard stated that the first rap name he gave himself was "FC6".[29] In 2015, Howard formed the duo "Dream$Team" with Adelaide rapper DJ Marcus Jr. (aka LadyKiller) who became his mentor and support.[19] The two recorded songs together and performed to local audiences as DJ Marcus Jr. guided him through promoting, recording and developing buzz.[30][19]
Howard met his now collaborator, producer Khaled Rohaim, at a recording studio in Sydney.[11] Moved by Howard's talent and difficult living situation, Rohaim would pick Howard up from various houses that he would live in around Sydney so they could eat together and record at his rented studio in North Strathfield.[11] Rohaim gave Howard some work writing songs for other artists.[23] In one instance, he wrote a song that featured A Boogie and Howard snuck into the studio so he could meet him, eventually recording a song together.[23]
In 2017, Howard was signed to a development deal with Sony Music Australia.[31] In the same year he was a co-host at the Fernside Festival hosted by Weave Youth and Community Services.[32]
2018–2020: 14 with a Dream edit
On 16 August 2018 (the day before his 15th birthday), Howard released his debut EP, 14 with a Dream where he collaborated with Manu Crooks, B Wise and Miracle.[33][22] The same month he garnered attention after becoming a finalist in the Triple J Unearthed high competition.[34][35] His Triple J Unearthed profile bio simply states "14 with a dream..." and still features three songs that he uploaded; "Disconnect (demo)", "In My Feelings" and "Blessings".[36] In the same year he jumped on stage with Manu Crook$ at Listen Out Festival, rapped with Tkay Maidza at Triple J's One Night Stand Festival,[37] played at Newtown Festival[38] and supported THEY.[39][40] He collaborated on a song with Lil Skies who posted out a teaser to his over 3 million Instagram fans.[41][22] Howard was interviewed by community station FBi Radio and presenter Darren Lesaguis stated that the interview had to be after 5 pm so Howard could attend after school and he arrived in his school uniform.[11] Howard's drive and confidence to one day be seen as a peer amongst his idols was noted in an interview with Acclaim where he was asked if he could name three Australian acts who he thought were going to be future legends and he stated "...I'd have to say… Can it be me? Can I pick myself? I hate to be that guy, but I definitely hope that I'm a legend."[22]
In March 2019, Howard did an in-store meet and greet for streetwear brand Street X in Darlinghurst where local fans queued to meet him where he also performed alongside Triple One.[42][43][11] In the same year he created a partnership agreement with American rapper Lil Bibby's record label Grade A Productions and Columbia Records.[1][44][45] Howard was mentored by late rapper Juice Wrld while he supported him on his Australian national tours in 2018 and 2019.[46][47][48][49] Howard lived with Juice Wrld in Los Angeles to learn from his idol how the studio and recording process worked.[16] He performed at Rolling Loud Festivals in Miami and New York.[50][51] In December, Howard gained international attention when the music video for his song "Let Her Go" was uploaded on the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel.[52]

Persona and reception edit

Fashion has been a big part of Howard's transformation from Redfern resident to international star. Howard explained to Spout Podcast that in Australia he apparently did not have a lot of money and was wearing a lot of sport tracksuits.[118][119] Since moving to California, Howard's style has switched to high end designers such as Celine,[118] Louis Vuitton, Comme des Garçons[120] and is known for his love of knitted jumpers.[121] Howard has featured in style editorials for magazines such as Flaunt[122] and was on the cover of Wonderland magazine in Autumn 2021.[123]

Awards and nominations edit
Personal life edit
