Proud Truwulway woman and multi-disciplinary artist Denni Proctor, aka DENNI, is a true voice of strength for her people in Lutruwita, Tasmania, and one of Australia’s most authentic and compelling rising storytellers and recording artists. DENNI is a true pioneer and has been at the forefront of sharing her Pakana/ Palawa culture and language in contemporary music and Art, representing First Nations mob from Lutruwita, with anthems like ‘Strongest Mob’ and ‘Lutruwita’ returning Palawa-kani (Tasmanian Aboriginal Language) back to its young, proud and culturally hungry generation. 

DENNI, also known by the moniker Madam Pakana, is a seasoned live performer and festival favourite, touring laps of the nation for over a decade with her distinct style of Electronic Hip Hop that threads and infuses elements of Oz Indi and Folk. It's not uncommon for DENNI to incorporate bluesy guitar licks to lush hip hop beats, while moving in and out of English to Palawa-kani.  DENNI has been performing locally and nationally to enthusiastic crowds on the festival scene, including Party in the Paddock, Dark Mofo, Yabun and many more.

With a large and ever-growing catalogue of bona-fide bangers online, you’re bound to notice some top tear collaborations in the studio, with tracks such as 'Keep ya head up' with JK47, ‘Landback’ with 3%, 'Strongest Mob' ft. Craig Everett, and her debut hip hop EP 'Runaways' produced by NERVE.  A testament to the exciting and authentic grassroots rise of Madam Pakana, which include some stand out milestones in the new mother’s career, such as her language song 'Lutruwita' which was showcased worldwide on the SBS series 'Alone- Australia' and a live performance reciting The Bill of Human Rights for Max Richter's 'Voices' at Dark Mofo. Whether it’s with the mob, on stage or in the studio, DENNI, Madam Pakana, is an authentic, genuine voice for change and Tasmanian Aboriginal pride–a truly unstoppable and versatile mainstay in the industry.
