About the Artist

Proud Yolngu man, renowned artist, and 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 with "Cloud 9," Baker Boy has captivated the Australian music scene with his infectious optimism, passion for music and dance, and deep cultural roots.  

Seven years later, Baker Boy has become a pop-culture sensation, earning acclaim such as the National Indigenous Music Awards' Artist of the Year in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and accumulating over 90 million global streams. In 2021, he was honored with the Order of Australia (OAM) medal, and he released his debut album "Gela," a reflective journey of identity and personal growth. The album, featuring the ARIA Gold-certified hit "Cool As Hell," debuted at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and garnered five ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year.  

Following a memorable performance at the 2021 AFL Grand Final in Perth before an audience of 60,000, Baker Boy embarked on his largest national headline tour in Australia in 2022, followed by his inaugural North American tour and a performance at the closing ceremony of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Kicking off a bold new era, proud Yolŋu artist and six-time ARIA-winner, Baker Boy, returns with his second studio album, Djandjay. A fearless album that deepens his identity and expands his reach. The follow-up to his acclaimed debut Gela (2021), it brings his rich cultural message and expanding sound to a global stage. Where Gela introduced the artist, Djandjay reveals Danzal the man: grounded, complex, and unafraid to speak his truth. 

“Djandjay is about strength and defiance. I’ve put my heart, body, and soul into this album. It feels very authentic to me.” – Baker Boy
