Kid Laroi seemingly went from an unknown Australian teenager going through puberty to a rising superstar with a diamond plaque to his name in the blink of an eye.
Laroi – born Charlton Howard – opens with an intimate documentary titled Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroiwhich will be available on Prime Video on February 29. The “Stay” artist released the first trailer on Wednesday (February 21), giving fans a taste of what's to come.
Directed by Michael Ratner, the documentary takes viewers on an emotional journey of The Kid Laroi's relationship with fame amid the massive commercial success of 'Stay' leading to The first time debut album, which arrived in November.
The two-minute trailer features a preview of an unreleased song and features contributions from his “Stay” collaborator Justin Bieber.
“The first time I actually called him, he was in the shower, and I said, 'What's up, dog? You can call me when you're done showering!” the Canadian pop star recalls.
“STAY” spent seven non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, and the diamond-certified anthem won Top Hot 100 Song as well as Top Collaborations at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.
Post Malone also sings Laroi's praises in the clip: “Laroi, he's so ambitious. I can tell he would be huge.”
In a more serious turn, The Kid Laroi also gets candid about the lessons he learned from his late mentor, Juice WRLD, who died of an accidental drug overdose in December 2019.
“[Juice WRLD] it taught me a lot about life,” he says. “He had so much life left to live. This simply shouldn't be a burden on anyone.”
Prime Video is celebrating the Doctor's arrival by hosting an interactive screening party and live Q&A between fans and The Kid Laroi from his home in Los Angeles on February 28 at 4 p.m. PT.
