Trailer - Welcome to PETROGLYPH

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.

🎧 Listen to the full episode now and explore how Miss Kaninna uses every platform to break the mould and carve out her space in the music industry.

Emily Wurramara opens up about the creation of her new album NARA, a project born from the highs and devastating lows of recent years. In this episode of Petroglyph, Emily reflects on the whirlwind of emotions she experienced while traveling the world with her music, giving birth to her daughter, losing her home in a fire, and grappling with mental health struggles.



NARA—the Anindilyakwa word for "nothing"—represents the void she felt, but also the realization that from nothing came everything she needed. Co-produced with James Mangohig (aka Kuya James), NARA ventures into new sonic territory, blending pop, electronic, indie, and ambient sounds into her folk roots. 



Emily shares the deeply personal stories behind tracks like Magic Woman Dancing and Lordy Lordy (featuring Tasman Keith), each a reflection of her search for peace and resilience amidst chaos.



Her story isn't neatly tied up. The edges remain rough, and the past lingers in ways she’s still learning to process. But there’s growth, and perhaps that’s what matters most.
