  • Effortlessly blending soul, R&B and pop, Kee’ahn weaves sumptuous melodies with words reminiscent of heartbreak and healing.Kee’ahn is a proud Kuku Yalanji, Jirrbal, Zenadth Kes song woman whose rich vocals and hopeful lyrics champion finding strength in our struggles. The emerging artist’s debut single Better Things became an anthem for many struggling through the challenges of lockdown and a changed world when it was released in 2020.She has since been awarded the 2020 Archie Roach Award at the National Indigenous Music Awards and was the 2020 winner of the Music Vic Award for Best Emerging Artist.
