CANISHA

CANISHA is a Melbourne-based artist whose soulful, textured pop sound blends warmth, honesty and emotional depth. Her debut EP DON’T BE SCARED (2024, Bad Apples Music) introduced a confident and lush pop sound, drawing inspiration from Adele, Jorja Smith and Harry Styles.

Known for her inviting vocals and raw storytelling, CANISHA has performed at Dreamtime at the G, Yirramboi Festival, St Kilda Music Festival, Share the Spirit at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Treaty Day Out. She has developed her artistry through programs including Singing Our Futures (Archie Roach Foundation), NATSIMO’s Resonate program, Space to Create, and the First Nations Pathways Program with Mushroom Group. Guided by mentors such as Candice Lorrae, Bumpy, Tasman Keith and Beatrice Lewis, CANISHA continues to craft music that connects, uplifts and resonates.
