The East London troubadour subverting British folk

Raised in East London’s Isle of Dogs, Hak Baker has swiftly earned iconoclastic status. 

On his 2017 debut EP, Misfits, Baker evolved out of the grime scene with a genre-scuffing sound he calls “G-folk” or “guv’nor folk” – working-class stories of resilience with a Cockney drawl.

He’s since earned a cadre of fans including The Streets (who tapped the newcomer for a 2020 collab), Fontaines D.C., Slowthai, Skepta and Pete Doherty. That powerhouse support makes sense – Baker’s music matches vibe-hopping production with unfiltered, street-level storytelling. 

On his breakout 2023 album, Worlds End FM, Baker presented his most complete statement yet in the style of a pirate radio broadcast on the edge of the apocalypse, from the light-on-its-feet protest song “Windrush Baby” to the urgent and propulsive “Telephones 4 Eyes”, which is readymade for his riotous live shows.

With Baker making his Australian debut, the end of the world never sounded so good.    

"Hak Baker subverts what a British folk singer can be."

– Vice

"World’s End FM successfully introduces Hak Baker as a 21st Century troubadour speaking to modern problems with empathy and requisite anger."

– NME
