Biography
Having penned lyrics since the age of 10, Charma, now an amazonian young thing whose thigh-high boots are enough to make anyone sing-a-long should she request, has a vocal strength superbly adept at both classical R and B and Dance-Pop.The latter is what she prefers so she can show everyone how to have a good time!
