In 2016, Baker Boy featured in the video for "Yolngu Style", a modern contemporary dance music video created by a group of artists to inspire the world to dance, move and absorb the Yolngu style.[8] That same year, Baker appeared on the "Indigenous" episode of the first series of Australian television series You Can't Ask That on ABC TV.[9][10]

Personal life
As of 2020 Baker was residing in Bendigo, Victoria,[34] with his partner Aurie Spencer-Gill and his bulldog.[34][35]
He has said that he wants to be an inspiration to Indigenous kids living in remote communities, and to combat "shame."[36]
A portrait of Baker, titled Rhythms of heritage, by Matt Adnate won the 2024 Packing Room Prize at the Archibald Prize awards.[37]
