The Kid LAROI inks management deal with Scooter Braun

Australian hip-hop breakout The Kid LAROI has signed an artist management deal with industry powerhouse Scooter Braun.

The 17-year-old artist now joins Braun's SB Projects management roster, where he'll be represented alongside Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Quavo, J Balvin and more.

According to Variety, Braun, SPB president Allison Kaye and general manager Jen McDaniels are expected to split management duties for the young artist moving forward.

The Waterloo-born rapper, who signed a global publishing deal with Sony back in February, became the youngest Australian solo artist to top the ARIA Albums Chart with a deluxe version of his mixtape F*ck Love (Savage), which also hit #3 on the US Billboard Charts.

The young artist has made recent appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live, where he performed a revamped version of his global hit 'Without You' alongside Miley Cyrus.

The Kid LAROI was previously managed by Grade A Productions.
