Miss Kaninna is a proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon, and Yirendali woman who received 3 ARIA nominations for her debut EP. She joins Petroglyph to share her journey through music, identity, and activism. In this episode, she reflects on the release of her debut project, the KANINNA EP, which blends hip hop, R&B, reggaetón, and pop influences. With fierce tracks like Dawg In Me, Miss Kaninna challenges perceptions of Aboriginal music, reasserts her creative identity, and explores freedom through sound.

Miss Kaninna’s work defies expectations by reclaiming "Black pop" to connect with a global identity, while showing that First Nations music can empower and uplift without always centering trauma. She opens up about balancing artistry and advocacy, her collaborations with artists like Kobie Dee, and the importance of creating music that invites joy and self-expression.
