Meet Cianna!

Cianna Walker is an emerging force in the Australian music industry — a proud Walbunja and Gumbaynggirr musician raised on Gadigal and Bidjigal lands. Dedicated to making her mark as a First Nations artist, Cianna is redefining contemporary music through a creative, genre-fluid approach.

Blending soul, country, folk, and R&B, Cianna draws inspiration from a wide range of musical influences while singing in several Aboriginal Languages, including her own, Gumbaynggirr. Her sound celebrates the diversity of contemporary First Nations music, weaving her identity, culture, and story into her art while highlighting the importance of storytelling, language, culture, and community.

Cianna has had the privilege of performing across Australia at major national events, community gatherings, and cultural festivals, where she continues to share her voice, music, language, and stories with audiences of all backgrounds. Through her performances, she seeks to create spaces of connection and cultural exchange that celebrate the richness and resilience of First Nations peoples.

Beyond her musical talent, Cianna is an aspiring academic, passionate about deepening the understanding of First Nations musicking and the role of language in cultural expression and identity. Through her research and creative practice, she explores how music can be a powerful form of reclamation, resistance, and cultural continuity — amplifying First Nations voices and preserving linguistic and artistic heritage for future generations.

Driven by a belief in the power of art as a vehicle for positive change, Cianna seeks to connect with audiences through her open, authentic, and inclusive artistry — challenging conventional boundaries in music and music-making while encouraging others to listen, learn, and celebrate the beauty of First Nations cultures.
