JBL Announces The Kid LAROI as Global Brand Ambassador
The Australian rapper will make his JBL debut at JBL Fest in Las Vegas, alongside a star-studded line-up with performances from Martin Garrix, Doja Cat and Bebe Rexha
London, 26th July 2022 - The secret’s out. JBL announces its latest global ambassador, teaming up for a collaborative partnership with global rapper The Kid LAROI. Known for crossing genres with his powerful lyrics and influence on songwriting, his shared passion for breaking boundaries and owning your own sound makes the Australian phenomenon the perfect addition to the JBL family.
At only 18 years old, The Kid LAROI got his start in music by recording verses on his mum’s smartphone and posting across social networks, capturing the attention of music executives in 2016 when named a finalist in Triple J Unearthed, an Australian competition for discovering new artists. The Kid LAROI has since leveraged his global crossover success to earn a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
“I’m stoked to work with JBL because I vibe most when I’m completely dialled in to what I want to say as an artist and person, and the brand supports and encourages self-expression,” said The Kid LAROI. “Our shared passion for making bold statements through music and sound is truly inspiring.”
The Kid LAROI will make his JBL debut at this year’s JBL Fest - a one-of-a-kind immersive festival experience in Las Vegas. Hosted by music icon Bebe Rexha, the three-day brand festival breaks the mould with unique events at the intersection of music, gaming, and sports, bringing together voices from across culture to give guests front-row access to unexpected moments and exclusive experiences.
JBL ambassador and platinum-selling DJ and producer, Martin Garrix, will headline JBL Fest alongside Grammy Award winner and global sensation Doja Cat, with exclusive performances from The Kid LAROI and Bebe Rexha.
JBL Fest will take place from the 27th – 29th September 2022.
