Charlotte Diamond lives with her family in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Born and raised in Vancouver, she graduated from the University of B.C. with a Bachelor of Secondary Education, majoring in Zoology and French. She took further studies in French Language at Laval University, in Quebec. Charlotte taught science, French and music at the junior high school level at New Westminster Secondary for ten years.
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. 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 formed her Hug Bug Band and proceeded with the independent production and release of 10 Carrot Diamond, which won the Canadian Juno Award in 1986. Her career turned professional and international overnight, and “10 Carrot Diamond” became a Certified Gold Record in Canada.
