I sing this song as a reminder about how important it is for everyone to be rich with family and friends. It’s even a good reminder to myself lately”. “Coz love and having fun is all that’s funding me” Mr La Di Da Di is a banger track that goes OFF ‘live. ’ Released in sync with news of his sell out Marryuna Tour ›› 3 sell out show in Melbourne, with an additional show added to Sydney and Brisbane things are going well.

We saw Baker Boy play at Yabun Festival on Gadigal country. He was electric. he played Mr La Di Da Di and the crowd went off. We met him before the show and he is the nicest fulla you’d want to meet & the kids absolutely adore him. His music is catchy and once you start singing it you can’t get it out of your mind, which we don’t mind a bit! Love you, Danzal aka #BakerBoy
