Charmaine Limonius
Born in the beautiful parish of St. Ann, Charmaine Limonius began singing at an early age. Her teachers and family soon discovered her talent and regularly singled her out to perform.
When she was a teenager, her family migrated to New York. Overwhelmed by her new surroundings, she found solace in music, spending hours with her ear pressed to the radio and filling notebooks with the lyrics to hundreds of songs, learning scores of them by heart.
For her 15th birthday, her parents granted her wish to have a guitar and she learned the basics in order to accompany herself as she sang, writing a few songs in the process. Thereafter, Charmaine began to receive requests to sing at a variety of events – private and public - and she also became involved in her church, where she led the folk group.<Full Story>
