Over the past 30 years, Charlotte Diamond has made an enduring contribution to
Canadian children’s music. A singer, songwriter and entertainer, she has engaged
children with her gentle melodies and catchy tunes that get them singing, dancing and
learning in English, French and Spanish. Her understanding of how music and lyrics
are foundational to literacy has also helped teachers, as she has produced learning
guides that focus on brain development and language patterns in young learners.
An ambassador for UNICEF, she continues to perform for audiences of all ages.
