Music Concert with Charlotte Diamond
www.charlottediamond.com

Charlotte Diamond resides with her family in Richmond, near Vancouver, British Columbia, on the West Coast of Canada. Born and raised there, she graduated from the University of B.C., majoring in Zoology and French. She took further studies at Laval University, Quebec, in French Language and taught science, French, and music at the junior-high school level for 12 years.

Charlotte's interest in music and languages has always been apparent. Singing and drama were a major part of her French classes. She also directed a high school jazz choir and was the vocal director for musicals such as "Oliver" and "Fiddler on the Roof". Charlotte sang with local folk groups, including performing intro sets for Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton. When her own children came along, she began singing and writing songs for them. This led to performances for her children's parent-participation pre-school, which mushroomed into requests for workshops, school concerts, and family shows around Vancouver and throughout British Columbia.

Charlotte proceeded with the independent production and release of her debut album, "10 Carrot Diamond" which won the Juno Award, the equivalent of a Grammy! "10 Carrot Diamond" became a Certified Gold Record in Canada and also won a Parents’ Choice Classic Award and an American Library Association Award in the U.S.A. Her career turned professional and international overnight! Songs such as, "Four Hugs a Day", "Each of us is a Flower" and "Octopus" (Slippery Fish) started to become a regular part of classroom and family life.

Charlotte presently has twelve recordings, a string of international awards, two nationally televised videos, and tours throughout Canada and the U.S.A. She has also had three concert tours to Costa Rica, on the invitation of the First Lady of Costa Rica, UNICEF and the Canadian Embassy.
