Early life

Diamond was born in Norrköping, Sweden as Amy Linnéa Deasismont, the second child of an English father, Lee, and a Swedish mother, Chrisbeth. Soon after her birth, the family moved to England.[3] The family moved back to Sweden when she was four-and-a-half years old, this time to Jönköping, where she learned Swedish. Diamond still lives there with her family, cousins and two younger sisters, Lisa and Holly, an older sister, Danielle and younger brother, Charlie.[4][5]

Diamond started figure skating at age six and won multiple gold medals. She practiced six times a week before embarking on her singing career.[1][6] She went to a dance and theater school called Blandgodis, and participated in theater and TV productions which gave her experience in public performing.[5] She also appeared in a small television role on the show, De drabbade.

Diamond has loved singing since she was two years old.[4] One of her first public performances was at the age seven on the talent show Småstjärnorna. She dressed as Belinda Carlisle and lip synced to "Heaven is a Place on Earth", finishing third in the competition.[7] In 2004, she participated in talent competitions such as Minimelodifestivalen in Jönköping and Swedish TV4's Super Troupers, winning most of them. On Mix Megapol Summer Idol Diamond won the main prize: to record a song in a real studio. During recording, she was offered a commercial recording contract.[8] Soon after, Diamond recorded her debut single "What's in It for Me". Markus Sepehrmanesh, one of the songwriters for her albums, said in an interview that she sang perfectly.[6] "What's in It for Me" was recorded in ninety minutes and the single was released the following February.[6]
