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.
