triple j’s new House Party host is 23 year old hip hop and dance aficionado Ebony Boadu.
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, and was a regular listener to Nina Las Vegas hosting triple j’s House Party back in the day, which is what got her into electronic music.
In 2016 Ebony applied for FBi’s Dance Class, a mentorship program where young women learn to DJ and present radio, which 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.
Excited to join triple j, Ebony says “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. 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 will make her House Party debut from 6-9pm this Saturday 12 January.
