When you can afford to buy a home in Los Angeles, you’ve “made it” as a musician. What makes this bargain more appealing? At the age of 19, I realized it. Don’t let yourself feel like a failure. The rags-to-riches story of an Indigenous Australian youth is inspirational. The rapper, singer, and composer from Waterloo, Sydney, has accomplished feats that most musicians take decades to achieve. From a Billboard number one single for Justin Bieber’s “Stay” to his debut studio album topping the ARIA charts, The Kid Laroi’s relocation from Sydney to Los Angeles appears to be on the horizon.

The musician has just relocated to Los Angeles. Before purchasing this Encino mansion late last year, the rapper leased in Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates. No more. The artist Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard owns this five-bedroom, six-bathroom Encino Hills property, according to Dirt.com. Perla Hudson, Slash’s ex-wife, was the previous owner.

The Kid Laroi spent $8.3 million (US$5.5 million) for the 6,113-square-foot French Normandy-style property on 0.55 acres in 1991. Hudson got $3 million (US$2 million) when she sold the house she bought in 2017 for $5.3 million (US$3.5 million). Hudson spent time modernizing and giving the early 1990s interior a rock-star flair.

A sculptural white stairway leads to a bedroom with a huge balcony and a lavish main bathroom with twin basins, a spacious bathtub, and modern goth chandeliers and lighting.

The open-plan living spaces include a dining area, a kitchen nook, and two black, granite, and some kitchen island chairs. The open-plan living area includes a lounge with a marble fireplace, a pool table, and sliding glass doors leading to the pool, terrace, and lawn. Although these are authentic estate photos, we believe The Kid Laroi will add his young spin to them.
