Carol Theresa East (born 15 January 1959 in Kingston, Jamaica) [ [http://homepage.usask.ca/~odv678/deejays.html The Excyclopedia of Reggae Musicians Part I : Dee-Jays] ] is a Jamaican reggae recording artist.

When she was 14, her family immigrated to Brooklyn, New York. East soon became involved in the Jamaican music scene. She earned a degree in education from the City College of New York in 1981, the same year she gave birth to her first child. Around that time she met Brigadier Jerry, a Jamaican DJ, who encouraged her to try DJ chatting in Jamaican dancehall style, rather than singing.

After winning competitions in New York and Jamaica, she toured with The Meditations. Her first album, "Liberation for Africa", was released in 1983 [ [http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4622 Sister Carol 'Liberation for Africa' at the Roots Archives] ] as a limited edition on the Jamaican "SG" label [ [http://www.roots-archives.com/label/840 SG music label at Roots Archives] ] . The 1984 album "Black Cinderella" [ [http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1677 Black Cinderella at the Roots Archives] ] established her. She formed her own record label, also called Black Cinderella.

East has appeared in the movies "Something Wild" (1986) and "Married to the Mob" (1988).
