Austin Howard (born June 9, 2006), formerly known as Austin El-kwali, but professionally known as AuztheKid (stylised as AuzTheKid) is an Australian producer, singer and songwriter. He is from one of many indigenous Australian tribes, the Kamilaroi tribe which his brother The Kid LAROI derived his artist name "Laroi" from. Born in Waterloo, New South Wales, he gained recognition partly through his brother but mainly on social media after posting samples of his beats on both his Instagram story and feed. The samples posted to his Instagram feed attained significant popularity and is one of the major contributors to his international presence. Austin and brother Laroi have an unreleased track together, Stack Today, which has received generally positive reviews from individuals that have heard it.
