In September 2024, Miss Kaninna released her self-titled debut EP. Upon release Miss Kaninna said "It took me a while to finally name the EP Kaninna. I had other names circling in my head but none of them really felt right. This being my first body of work as an artist I wanted to name it something I can be proud of and look back at in years time and still feel a connection to it. That's when I realised it had to be my name. Since releasing music, people often ask me 'what my real name is' which is so funny because my name is so unique that people must think it's made up."
