Miss Kaninna Biography
“...when Miss Kaninna speaks… you listen. The proud Yorta Yorta, Djadja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman proved that she is the past, present and the future of music in this country'' triple J
Bursting onto the scene with her debut single ‘Blak Britney’, Miss Kaninna has made her arrival well and truly known. The proud Yorta Yorta, Djadja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman has emerged as a voice of punk and power, as she’s taken the Australian live music landscape by storm.
Hailing from lutruwita/Tasmania, Miss Kaninna grew up on the shores of Bruny Island. From a young age she has been commanding stages across music and theatre, carrying forward the storytelling of her ancestors and fearlessly bringing them into the present. Her art is a powerful expression of her experiences as a young Blak woman in so-called Australia, drawing from the rich cultural heritage and paths laid before her by her Matriarchs. Her grandmother, Rosalind Langford, was a famous painter and renowned activist who played a pivotal role in starting the Aboriginal Information Service (AIS) in the 70s, the first Aboriginal organisation in Tasmania.
Harnessing that same energy and captivating audiences with her ferocious charisma, ‘Blak Britney’ arrived in May to critical acclaim. An anti-establishment anthem written to amplify the voices of Blak women, the single landed full rotation and within a fortnight was the #1 most-played song on triple j.
Following its release, she won the triple j Unearthed competition to play at Treaty Day Out alongside Jess Mauboy, Thelma Plum and Yothu Yindi - an opportunity she took to display the expansive range of what she is capable of and delivering an electrifying performance with her live band in tow. The impact of her potent live energy spread and she was swiftly booked across the some of the country's premier summer music festivals - the inaugural SXSW Sydney, Meredith Music Festival, Haydays Music & Arts Festival, Beyond the Valley, Wildlands, Sun Cycle and coveted spot on the national 2024 Laneway tour.
Solidifying her role as “one to watch”, she gave one of the most talked-about performances at this year's Bigsound festival, shortly followed by the announcement of her nomination for “Best Song/Track” and “The Archie Roach Foundation Award for Emerging Talent” at the 2023 Music Victoria awards. An artist that pushes beyond the boundaries, her childhood musical theatre experience and genre-defying approach to performance provide a staunch and formidable foundation for a new artist with an urgency for change. Floating effortlessly between Hip Hop, Neo-soul, and indie Rock, Miss Kaninna arrives to claim BLAK POP in so-called Australia.
