Charmaine

Last updated: October 5, 2023

Zimbabwe born, Charmaine and her family immigrated to North America in search of a better life. Out of her tough upbringing was birthed survival and a hard work ethic that led to a confident rapper with all the accompanying strut and swagger, and a brilliant R&B vocalist able to deliver a heart-stopping ballad. 

The Zimbabwe-born Toronto rapper with a fairly "Rags to Riches" story revealed herself to the world with the release of her debut EP Hood Avant Garde in April 2021. Her break out single "Bold" landed Charmaine the 2022 Juno Award for Rap Single Of The Year, making her the first woman in history to win in that category.
