Australian singer The Kid LAROI has given fans a glimpse of his life as a pop megastar in the trailer for his upcoming documentary, Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroi. In the footage, LAROI speaks about his rapid rise “from an unknown musician living in Australia to a teenage global superstar selling out his hometown arena in three years.”
Directed by Michael D. Ratner, the documentary will provide behind-the-scenes access to the making of LAROI’s debut album, The First Time. The trailer features early footage of the young star rapping as a teenager, as well as interviews with Post Malone and LAROI himself.
LAROI and Justin Bieber did a joint interview in the documentary about working together on the former’s breakout hit Stay. The movie also explores LAROI’s relationship with late rapper Juice WRLD and includes never-before-seen footage of the two.
In an interview with NME in 2020, LAROI spoke about being referred to as Juice WRLD’s protégé. He said people “need to leave his legacy alone and let him be” and that he felt like “there’s a lot of pressure on [him] being called Juice’s protege.”
Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroi will be released on Amazon Prime on February 29. LAROI is scheduled to headline his ‘For The First Time’ UK and European tour this April, kicking off in Stockholm, Sweden on April 4
