Danielle Caruana, known professionally as Mama Kin, is an Australian singer-songwriter. She has released two albums, Beat and Holler and The Magician's Daughter. She lives with her family in Fremantle. Caruana grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Newport, the youngest, by some years, of six siblings by parents of Maltese extraction.
Given that there's a Canadian Aerosmith tribute band with the same name, the adopted moniker of this Australian singer-songwriter is a mite unfortunate. That's quickly forgiven after a few spins of this mightily impressive new album, Mama Kin's second. A big deal Down Under, she has a passionate voice capable of both power and subtlety, while her songs traverse soul, folk and rock terrain.
