The Kid Laroi is currently making waves with his chart-topping song “Stay” featuring Justin Bieber, but is he the real deal or one-hit wonder? The Australian Gen-Z singer has been on quite a journey even before this smash hit came out, and here’s why you should learn his name.
Chart Success
The Kid Laroi still hasn’t released his debut album, but that didn’t stop him from topping the Billboard 200 chart. He hit no. 1 with the reissue of his debut mixtape F**k Love 3: Over You. He also topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “Stay”, which recently returned to the top spot for its fourth consecutive week.
A-List Collaborations
One of the secrets behind Laroi’s success is his collaborations with the world’s leading recording artists. In addition to Bieber, he also joined forces with Juice Wrld on “Go”, “Hate the Other Side”, and “Reminds Me of You” and Miley Cyrus on “Without You”—and the list is getting longer by the day.
Solo Success?
The Kid Laroi never struggled to find success with his A-list collaborations, but can he stand his ground on his own? None of his solo songs found the kind of success that “Stay” did, but “So Done” became a pretty big hit in Australia and entered Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
