Proud Yolngu man, artist and 2019 Young Australian of the Year, Danzal Baker OAM – known as Baker Boy – hails from Milingimbi and Maningrida in North-East Arnhem Land (Australia). Upon his debut in 2017 with the instant classic “Cloud 9”, Baker Boy struck the Australian music industry with his unashamed optimism and love for music, dance and connection to his culture.

Six years on, Baker Boy is a pop-culture phenom, Five-time ARIA award winner, including Album of the Year and Best Solo Artist in 2022, Nine-time National Indigenous Music Awards winner including Album of the Year and Artists of the year in 2022, and amassing over 60m streams globally. In 2021 he received an Order Of Australia (OAM) medal, and later that year released his debut album ‘Gela’ – a chronicle of identity and personal growth – led by the ARIA Gold-certified jam “Cool As Hell”. ‘Gela’ landed at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was a finalist for the Australian Music Prize.

Following a triumphant slot at the 2021 AFL Grand Final in Perth in front of over 60,000 people, Baker Boy embarked on his biggest national tour of Australia in the first half of 2022. Lately, Baker Boy set out on his inaugural North American tour, with dates in Los Angeles, New York’s Central Park and Toronto, as well as performing at the closing ceremony of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
