Cockatoo Island Sunset Sessions

Spend the Saturdays of Summer at Cockatoo Island's Sunset Sessions, our relaxed live music series. 

20 January – Mi-Kaisha

Supported by Anieszka

With a voice that triple j declared to be "just like silk,” Mi-Kaisha draws equally from soul tradition and pop melody, guided by hard-hitting lyrics about her experience as a young Aboriginal and Pacific Islander woman.

As an artist and storyteller, Mi-kaisha is also an advocate with a responsibility to actively support her communities and work against the systems that have perpetually oppressed Pacific Islanders and First Nations Peoples in Australia.

Supporting Mi-Kaisha is the 'R&B angel' Anieszka. Anieszka fuses R&B, neo-soul and her Mauritian roots with her thought-provoking writing to create soothing and viviacious sounds that have been championed by the likes of triple j, Bandcamp Daily, BBC Radio, RUSSH Magazine and more. With headliner shows in both Sydney and Melbourne, and at BIGSOUND 2023 in Brisbane, her appearance at Sunset Sessions performance is an opportunity to get up closer and personal to this rising star.
