Bursting onto the scene is Zimbabwe-born, Canadian hip-hop newcomer Charmaine, with her début single “Bold.” Born January 1st 1996, Charmaine started writing music when she was seventeen. Her biggest inspirations were Missy Eliott, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj & more! At first glance, you can see Charmaine challenging society’s status quo and in her own way sends a statement of what it means to be able to do it all while being a strong independent Black woman. She wants to welcome listeners of all backgrounds to consider the experiences of self-discovery, growth, reclamation, culture, healing, and most importantly fun. “I want people to feel like they can do anything, be anything, they don’t have to pretend to be something they’re not. I want them to step into their own power,” Charmaine says while speaking about the new single. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Charmaine">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
