The Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land has continued his winning streak, earning the title of Northern Territory Young Australian of the Year.

Danzal Baker, better known by his stage name Baker Boy, has been recognised for his work inspiring young Indigenous people to embrace their culture and take up leadership positions.

At a ceremony on Wendesday night, the 22-year-old joined a list featuring reconciliation advocate AFL legend Michael Long, human rights advocate and NT Senior Australian of the Year Charlie King, while anti-bullying campaigners Tick and Kate Everett were named NT Local Heroes.

Born in Darwin and raised in the remote communities of Milligimbi and Maningrida, Baker Boy became one of the most ground-breaking artists in Australian hip hop. He's found huge success rapping in Yolngu Matha language on bilingual bangers like 'Black Magik', NT Song of the Year winners 'Mr La Di Da Di' and 'Cloud 9', and ‘Marryuna’, which brought Indigenous language to the #17 spot of the Hottest 100 last year.

His awards CV doesn't stop there, Baker Boy scooped three wins at this year's National Indigenous Music Awards and won the prestigious Charles Darwin University Art Award at the Northern Territory Young Achievers Awards.

He's also looking down the barrel of several gongs at The Age Music Victoria Awards later this month.
