BLACKPRINT, OUT NOW EVERYWHERE 💛🖤

“BLACKPRINT has been on my mind for a long time; it feels like a blueprint for my life. I feel Aboriginal people are the blueprint and have been robbed of that, that is the reality of my existence. Over time BLACKPRINT became a vehicle to express anger and frustration. As that resolved, it’s landed in a place of uplift and an expression of existence. The mixtape can be abrasive and in your face but at the same time, quite groovy with rock and punk elements, rhythm and rap. Even though it’s only been 2 years since my debut EP, my whole life has changed since KANINNA - there’s been a lot of growth. New experiences travelling around the world as a new artist has given me the confidence to take risks and move away from more palatable music. I have firsthand experience of audiences outside of so-called Australia wanting to hear the truth. I crave working with new people always, but since working with (mixtape executive producer) Nikodimos I’ve really found a pocket of understanding and creation that I love and am very grateful for that. Personally, the travel and life experience has really given me the confidence to allow myself, and the songs, the time to breathe and be ready.” - MISS KANINNA
