艺人资料

艾米·戴蒙德于1992年4月15日出生于瑞典的东约特兰省诺尔雪平,在欧洲是一位非常著名的流行歌手。

艾米·戴蒙德从两岁开始就喜欢唱歌,她的第一次登台演出是在她七岁的时候参加一个名为Småstjärnorna的电视节目,并赢得了第三名。2004年,她发布了自己的第一首商业意义上的单曲 “What's in It for Me“,并获得了巨大的成功。这首歌在当年三月份的瑞典流行音乐排行榜上获得了第一的好成绩。但最开始瑞典的电视台拒绝在电视上播放这首歌的MV,因为他们不能接受一个小孩演唱关于成人间的关系的歌曲,但是艾米·戴蒙德并不这样认为,她觉得这首歌曲的主题是关于友谊的;尽管遭到了电视台的封杀,在艾米·戴蒙德和Elin Lanto一起旅行的时候,”What’s in It for Me” 还是在各大电台热播了起来。

借着第一支单曲的成功,艾米顺势于2005年三月推出了她的首张专辑 “This Is Me Now” ,这张专辑卖了150000份,是当时瑞典黄金唱片销量标准的三倍。至此,瑞典的各大电视台终于开始关注她了,截止到2005年底,她总共在20多个电视节目上亮相。

2006年她发布了第二张专辑 “Still Me Still Now” ,2007年11月发布了第三张专辑 “Music in Motion” 。

2008年的11月发布了一张圣诞专辑 “En Helt Ny Jul“(意思是:一个崭新的圣诞节)。这几张专辑也都取得了不俗的成绩,其中的一些歌曲,比如 “What’s In It For Me”, “Welcome To The City”, “Champion”, “Shooting Star”, “Don’t Cry Your Heart Out”, “It Can Only Get Better”, “Stay My Baby”, “Is It Love”, “Thank You” 等都被人们广为传唱。

艾米·戴蒙德于2009年再度参加了瑞典歌唱比赛 “Melodifestivalen” ,她的参赛曲目是由Alexander Bard、Bobby Ljunggren和Oscar Holter制作的电子乐 “It’s My Life” ,但很遗憾的在最终的决赛中不敌H.E.A.T.,没能获得第一。艾米·戴蒙德的第五张专辑(包括 “It’s My Life”) “Swings and Roundabouts” 于2009年10月22日发行。

在2012年末她开始新歌曲的创作。她的新单曲“  Your Love”在2013年10月16日发行。

Biography

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. When she was ten months old, the family moved to England.

Diamond has loved singing since she was one year old.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.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.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."What's in It for Me" was recorded in ninety minutes and the single was released the following February.

Success as a singer

"What's in It for Me" was a commercial success, although some Swedish TV stations refused to show the music video, arguing that Diamond was too young (turned 13 soon after the release) for the song's theme about romantic relationships.Amy, though, didn't see the theme as a romantic relationship – in her eyes it was relationships between friends. Nevertheless, the song received extensive radio airplay while she simultaneously went on tour with Elin Lanto. "What's in It for Me" reached number one on the Swedish singles chart in March and eventually went platinum.

Due to the success of the single, a full album was commissioned, and This Is Me Now was released in May 2005. The album sold more than 150,000 copies, which was triple the requirement for gold record certification in Sweden at the time. The success led to television appearances, such as on the weekly chart show Trackslistan and on the children's competition show Vi i femman. By the end of 2005, she had appeared live on more than 20 television shows. A concert tour in Sweden was organized for her in the summer, and some of the shows were also televised.

Diamond is a talented live singer and sings without a playback tape in her public performances. Her debut album included a live version of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You", which was described in a review as "sweet and impressive at the same time".She reached the finals in Super Troupers, where she reached the final by singing Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes". She was 12 years old.A review in Svenska Dagbladet described her voice as fine and secure, and her record label advertised it as "shining and characteristic".

Outside Sweden

Diamond signed a distribution deal with Warner in July in order to promote the album internationally. She never appeared with her band again, instead performing with a background track and dancers. The album became popular also in other Nordic countries and Poland during the following summer. "What's In It For Me" was heard frequently on the radio, becoming the 19th most played song of 2005 in Finland and 16th best songs of 2005 in Poland.More singles from the albums "Welcome to the City" and "Champion" were released in the summer. A special edition of the album was released for the Central European market. It contained two previously-unreleased songs which would later appear on Still Me Still Now. Diamond was sent on a promotional tour throughout Central Europe in late 2005. Her record deal allowed the whole family to travel with her whenever the concerts were abroad. Diamond performed on television in Germany, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania and the Netherlands.

Second album

Diamond started recording her second album in February 2006. Her producers sent her songs and she chose which ones she wanted included on the album. The album was recorded over four weekends at a pace of two to three songs per weekend.The album Still Me Still Now was published in May and the first single "Don't Cry Your Heart Out" was released a couple of weeks prior to the general album distribution.

In mid-2006, Diamond took part in the Diggiloo tour, where she performed, among other songs, Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien". Although Still Me Still Now wasn't as big a success outside Sweden as This Is Me Now, it was still popular in her home country. She also held concerts beyond the Diggiloo tour; readers of the largest evening newspaper, Aftonbladet, voted her 2006 Summer Tour Queen. Diamond released two more singles in late 2006, Big Guns and It Can Only Get Better, and continued to appear on television, including appearances on such prime-time shows as Sommarkrysset, Go'kväll, and Vinterkrysset. In January 2007, Amy Diamond started a fan club that publishes a quarterly fan magazine called Amy Diamond Fanzine. Lastly, in September 2007 she sang with In The Ghetto on Elvis – The Original Cast.

Third album

Throughout the second half of 2007, Diamond recorded her third album called "Music in Motion". The album contains tracks done by some renowned producers such as Max Martin and Alexander Kronlund, who have previously worked with Britney Spears.

Additionally, she has performed her new song on some TV-shows like "Bobster", "Bingolotto" and has even won "Best Female Artist" at "Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards".
