We’re rapt to introduce triple j’s new House Party host, 23-year-old hip hop and dance aficionado Ebony Boadu.

Having bid a fond farewell to KLP, triple j is now handing the House Party reins to Ebony. You might have caught her presenting over summer, her B2B set on Mix Up with long-time Sydney scene mate Yemisul, or even cutting it up on festival stages at Falls, Splendour, Groovin The Moo, Spilt Milk and more last year.

“When one of my mixes got played on triple j last year, it was a really big accomplishment for me. To now be hosting a weekly show where I can share music with people all over the country is super surreal," says Ebony, who's stoked to be joining the triple j fam.

"When I DJ, I aim to play sets that are as creative and as fun as possible, and there’s no better place to do that than on triple j’s House Party.”

Ebony grew up in Western Sydney listening to her parent’s Afrobeat and reggae collections, as well as indie rock anthems thanks to her Guitar Hero addiction. She also regularly tuned into Nina Las Vegas hosting triple j’s House Party back in the day, which is what got her into electronic music. Talk about a breadth of influences!

She's also tight with triple j's Shantan Ichiban, who in 2016, tipped Ebony off to apply for FBi's Dance Class, a mentorship program (run by Andy Garvey, who now hosts triple j Mix Up!) where young women learn to DJ and present radio. That led to hosting spots on FBi Radio, SBS, and MTV.

Since then, her hip hop expertise and dynamic DJ sets have seen her rise through the Australian club ranks, as well as play sets at Splendour In The Grass and Falls Festival. After well and truly earning her stripes over the last few years, you can now catch Ebony soundtracking your Saturday night House Party on triple j.

Ebony will make her House Party debut from 6-9pm this Saturday 12 January, and will continue to bring you the party every Saturday night on triple j.
