Baker's first solo public performance was as a child at a basketball association concert in Temuka, South Canterbury. She attended St Joseph's Māori Girls' College in Hawkes' Bay and joined the school choir there. In 1958 Viking Records recorded the choir, with Baker as soloist, releasing an album Maori Songs of Enchantment. The album eventually sold over 300,000 copies.

After finishing her schooling Baker moved to Wellington and began singing with the Ngāti Poneke Maori Club and on television on the show Maori Chorale. She also formed a band called the Phoenix Show Band and performed in cabaret shows. The album sold over 100,000 copies and both the choir and Baker were awarded Golden Discs. Viking also invited Baker to work on a recording New Zealand Maori Chorale. She also became involved with Women's Refuge and has served on the board of the National Schizophrenia Fellowship Society. In 2015, her biography was included in an exhibition by Otago Museum focusing on the lives of notable women of Ngāi Tahu.
