Macka Diamond

Charmaine Alvaree Munroe (born 12 January 1971), known professionally as Macka Diamond, is a Jamaican recording artist, singer and songwriter.

Early life and education

She was born in Kingston and raised in Portmore. Early in her career during the 1980s, she was known by the stage names Lady Charm, Lady Worries and Lady Mackerel.

Career

She was influenced by female artists such as Sister Nancy, Lady Ann, Lady Junie and Lady G. With Junie's help, she got the chance to record "Don Girl". After a string of singles, including collaborations with Captain Barkey and Wickerman, she changed her name to Macka Diamond with her 2003 single "Tek Con", a protest record to Vybz Kartel's chauvinistic track "Tek Buddy". On 7 February 2012, she released the album Don't Disturb Mi, under Money Ooh Productions/VPAL.

Diamond performed the role of Kim, a nurse for a patient with dementia, in the film 3 to 11 written by Summer Angel, which premiered on 5 February 2022.

    Macka Diamond Says She Will Leave Dancehall at the End of 2026 After More Than Three Decades

    Charmaine Munroe, the Kingston-born deejay known as Macka Diamond and earlier as Lady Mackerel, told THE STAR she plans to retire from music when 2026 ends — more than thirty years in — to focus on herself, her loved ones and her son, while saying parts of the industry have made her feel unwanted. She says she is still turning down show offers and that her catalogue of hits stands. Days earlier, on TikTok, she had pushed back at critics after captioning a clip ‘leaving dancehall’; on that occasion she said she would continue music at her own pace.
