READ LISTEN Hak Baker—a writer who wears many hats: singer, rapper, guitarist, and at his core, a true poet. Hailing from the Isle of Dogs, Baker deconstructs and reconstructs the raw, unfiltered stories of modern British life. Known for his unique blend of "G-Folk" or "guv’nor folk," he captures the spirit of an era grappling with social inequity, oppression, and disillusionment.
Ahead of his debut AU performance for Sydney Festival, picking up the call from Gadigal Country/Sydney to Hackney, Bindi Mutiara and Hak Baker start from the very beginning—unpacking the loss of authenticity in once-familiar and familial towns, cherishing the corners of community that remain true and still feel like home, amid it all.
