Back with new single KING, Yolngu superstar Baker Boy reflects on his incredible rise over the past few years - an astonishing run of achievements and accolades that have seen the “Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land” ascend to the well-deserved title of “KING”. Trying on the swaggering brand of self-love that is synonymous with hip-hop and pulling it off as only true kings can, Baker Boy stays true as always to his artistic mission —to proudly share his Yolngu heritage and culture through infectious, uplifting beats, bars and melodies — while conjuring a glorious vision of a sassy victory lap. 2019 Young Australian of the Year, Danzal Baker OAM, also known as Baker Boy, originates from Milingimbi and Maningrida in North-East Arnhem Land. Since his breakout in 2017, Baker Boy has captivated the Australian music scene with his infectious optimism, passion for music and dance, and deep cultural roots. Baker Boy has become a pop-culture sensation, earning acclaim such as the NIMA’s Artist of the Year (2019, 2020, 2022) and accumulating over 90M global streams. In 2021, he was honored with the Order of Australia (OAM) medal, and released his debut album Gela, a reflective journey of identity and personal growth. The album, featuring the ARIA Gold hit ‘Cool As Hell’ debuted at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and garnered 5 x ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year, & includes the singles ‘Meditjin ft JessB’, ‘Ride ft. Yirrmal’ and ‘My Mind ft. G Flip'.
