The rising superstar proves why she’s one of the nation’s most electrifying new artists
A fearless storyteller, gifted vocalist and explosive live performer, hip-hop and R&B artist Miss Kaninna has taken the music scene by storm in a short couple of years, capturing audiences and critics alike with her unapologetic attitude and ferocious charisma. Her rocket ride to stardom continues with her first-ever performance at the Sydney Opera House, sure to be among the hottest shows at this year’s Vivid LIVE.
A proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman, the Naarm-based Miss Kaninna ignited buzz in 2023 with her single Blak Britney, an anti-establishment anthem written to amplify the voices of Black women, and its club-ready follow-up, the subversive call-to-arms Pinnacle Bitch. The breakthrough one-two combination saw her crowned Triple J’s Unearthed artist of the year and nominated for three ARIA awards, where she became the first-ever Indigenous woman to earn a nod for her debut single. Audiences soon got a taste of her combustible live talent at Laneway 2024, alongside Steve Lacy and RAYE, and at SXSW Sydney, where she took home the Best Emerging Artist prize.
With her debut EP KANINNA blowing up, Miss Kaninna has quickly established herself as a future superstar of hip-hop, R&B and neo-soul, laying potent claim to Black pop in so-called Australia. Don’t miss her.
