Born in Kingston, Charmaine Munroe aka Macka Diamond grew up in Portmore. She attended Holy Childhood High School where she lived for the day when she could live her dreams of becoming a DJ. According to her sometimes she used to skull art class and go around the back of the school to entertain with her deejaying and singing skills.

With a father Phillip Munroe who is a producer - working with artistes such as Gregory Isaacs and being good friends with King Jammys and Sly & Robbie it was easy to understand how Macka could develop a passion for dejaying. One could definitely say that Macka Diamond had an intention which path she wanted to take.

Every evening while coming home from school Macka would look across at Skateland where artistes such as Sista Nancy and others would hang out and she would say in her mind, 'soon join unno'.

After graduating Holy Childhood Macka forego the opportunity to go to sixth form much to her teachers disappointment. She got the perfect opportunity to pursue her dream of dejaying when her mom migrated (as her mom didn't share the dejaying dream).

She heard about Lady Junie and asked somebody to show her where she lived. With the hook up made she told Lady Junie that she wanted to break into the business. Lady Junie took Macka Diamond under her wings taking her on her studio rounds at King Tubbys.

Macka started out as Lady Charm recorded her first song 'Don Girl' a counteraction to Major Mackerel's 'Don Ban'. But before she did the producer insisted he couldn't recorded it under Lady Charm, she had to use Lady Mackerel.

She cried the whole time but she submitted to the name change. Macka always knew she would change that name.

Following that she went on to record other singles such as 'Oh What A Pity' on the Kington 11 label, 'Sugar Plum' on Stone Love label and lots of other songs some of which weren't released.

Presently Macka Diamond has several things in the fire among them two major shows in the making for England and Canada; more singles and definitely a lot more performances for her growing fan base.
