Amy Diamond

Amy Gemstone was only 12 yrs . old when she released her debut one, the pop-reggae “What’s within it for me personally,” which got Scandinavia by surprise, spending 19 weeks in a high Ten chart placement in her indigenous Sweden — but her youngsters and cherubic, clear-eyed appearance belied her wealthy, powerful tone of voice and sassy self-assurance. Delivered Amy Linnéa Deasismont in 1992 for an British dad and Swedish mom, Gemstone spent her child years in both Britain and Sweden, learning dance, performing in theatre and television, physique skating, and taking part in performing and performance contests. Winning among these skill contests gained her the chance to record inside a studio room, which resulted in a contract using the Bonnier Amigo GROUP and the launch of “What’s inside it for me personally” in Feb 2005. THAT IS Me Right now, her debut recording, consisted of shiny ska and reggae-inflected pop, plus a live documenting of Alicia Secrets’ “EASILY Ain’t Got You,” which showcased Diamond’s vocal chops, along with a rendition of this greatest pre-adolescent redhead anthem, Annie’s “Tomorrrow.” Despite its apparent youth charm and blithely motivational, child-friendly lyrical themes (the significant exception becoming the age-inappropriate business lead solitary, with Gemstone incongruously asserting “I won’t be your mom”), THAT IS Me Right now boasted advanced pop creation and achieved songwriting that — alongside Diamond’s assured, charismatic tone of voice — raised it beyond basic children’s music. A distribution cope with Warner along with a Western tour helped the recording become successful throughout Northern European countries that summer; back in Sweden she racked up a small number of honours and nominations, like the lately founded Nordic Music Award for “What’s inside it for me personally.” Released in 2006, Still Me Still Right now unsurprisingly covers comparable place to its forerunner (“Don’t Cry Your Heart Out” becoming the lite-reggae breezer of the lead solitary this time around out), but with a far more pronounced Broadway impact and many inspirational ballads.
