Arnhem Land-born, Melbourne-based rapper and dancer Danzel Baker’s career has skyrocketed in the past few months. Jack Latimore caught up with him for a quick yarn for Time Out. The one-time member of Indigenous dance troupe Djuki Mala scored two spots on the 2017 Triple J Hottest 100 and has played a string of festival gigs (with more lined up).
Baker Boy sings in both English and Yolŋu Matha in tracks like ‘Marryuna’, ‘Mr La Di Da Di’ and ‘Cloud 9’. You can expect deadly dance moves from him and his stage brother boys Kian and MC Dallas Woods. He's one of Australia’s fastest rising stars, so if you want to see him rip up the stage at a local live music venue now’s your chance.
After his original Melbourne tour dates sold out in less than a week, Baker Boy announced two additional shows on November 18 and 25. You can buy tickets for the extra shows below.
Sunday, November 18, Howler (18+). Buy tickets.
Sunday, November 25, Northcote Social Club (all ages). Buy tickets.
