Baker Boy

Chill out on a Sunday afternoon with great music, good company, and a lakeside view at HOTA. In our first Lakeside Session, we welcome Baker Boy, known by many as the 2019 Young Australian of the Year, and known in Arnhem Land as the ‘fresh new prince’.

Raised in the remote NT communities of Yurrwi and Maningrida, Danzal Baker, aka Baker Boy, raps in Yolngu Matha language representing his bloodlines. A strikingly talented artist on an undeniable rise, Baker Boy kick-started 2018 with two of his songs—'Marryuna' and 'Cloud 9'—winning their place in triple j’s Hottest 100. He has supported the likes of 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal, played prime festival slots at Splendour in the Grass, Laneway, Golden Plains and WOMADelaide, and sold out his first headline tour in May 2018.

Presented by HOTA, Home of the Arts.
