Proud Yolŋu man, renowned artist, 2019 Young Australian of the Year and Multi-award winning superstar, Baker Boy originates from Milingimbi and Maningrida in North-East Arnhem Land.
Baker Boy's new album 'DJANDJAY' (pron. Jan-jay) includes the singles PEACEKEEPER, FREAK OUT, LIGHTNING, THICK SKIN and RUNNING LOW.
Receiving critical acclaim for DJANDJAY, the release was topped off by his much-talked-about triple j's Like A Version cover of 'JUMP' by BLACKPINK, as well as his thumping new anthem ‘CURSE’ from the forthcoming DJANDJAY (Deluxe) album - out later this year.
Following the acclaim of his 5 x ARIA Award-winning debut album Gela, which made history as the first album by an Indigenous artist to win ARIA Album of the Year, ‘DJANDJAY’ is Baker Boy’s most emotionally layered and creatively evolved work yet. Named in honour of his late grandmother, ‘DJANDJAY’ also pays homage to the Yolŋu spiritual figure of the same name: a guiding octopus spirit that leads souls forward.
Most recently, he was crowned Musician of the Year at the 2025 GQ Men of the Year Awards, performed at the 2025 AFL Grand Final with Snoop Dogg and has just wrapped up his 10-date Australian album tour - where Rolling Stone noted: “the energy was off the charts”.
