Celebrating over 20 years of success in Children's Music!

 

Charlotte Diamond is a popular favourite with Tri-City kids and families and has been presenting concerts at Golden Spike Days for over ten years. Her songs are internationally-known and loved. “Four Hugs a Day”, “I am a Pizza (Je suis une pizza)”, “Octopus (Slippery Fish)” and “Each of us is a Flower” are sung in classrooms and homes throughout the world. Her concerts are very interactive and fun for the whole family!

Charlotte lives with her family in Richmond, British Columbia.  Born and raised in Vancouver, 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 in Abbotsford and New Westminster.
 

Charlotte has had a life-long interest in music. She 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 and also developed a preschool music program in her community of Richmond. This led to performances for her children's parent-participation preschool, 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 "10 Carrot Diamond", which won the Canadian Juno Award. Her career turned professional overnight, and "10 Carrot Diamond" quickly became a Certified Gold Record in Canada.



Charlotte has been awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal “in recognition of her exemplary support of UNICEF”, as well as being named a “Paul Harris Fellow” by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, “in appreciation of significant assistance given to the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world.”
