Miss Kaninna
Miss Kaninna is a First Nations artist whose music, voice, and presence have positioned her as one of the most compelling figures in so-called Australian music today. Hailing from Bruny Island, Tasmania, and of Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon, and Yirendali heritage, she made history in 2024 with her debut single Blak Britney, earning three ARIA nominations and becoming the first independent Aboriginal woman nominated for an ARIA for a debut single. The track hit #1 on triple j, featured in Netflix’s Heartbreak High, and was recognised by Rolling Stone as one of the Best Australian & NZ Songs of the 21st Century. Her debut EP KANINNA received critical acclaim, an ARIA nomination for Best Hip-Hop Release, and major wins at the 2025 AIR Awards. Renowned for ferocious, genre-defying live performances, Miss Kaninna has toured internationally, supported artists including M.I.A and Stormzy, and continues to use her platform in service of culture, community, and change.
