Deasismont 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 she won the main prize: to record a song in a real
studio. During recording, she was offered a commercial
recording contract. Soon after, she 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" reached number one on the Swedish singles chart in March and eventually went platinum. , Sweden in 2005 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. Although Deasismont's fans are typically school children, the album cannot be described as
children's music. The style of
This Is Me Now is mainly happy pop music with synthesizer backgrounds, but it includes the theme song "Tomorrow" from the musical
Annie and a live recording of the song "If I Ain't Got You". The songs in the album were made by the producer team Tysper (Tommy Tysper), Mack (Marcus Sepehrmanesh) and Grizzly (Gustav Jonsson), who are all from
Stockholm. They form the core of the production company TEN Production and have produced successful pop tracks before working with Deasismont. Other Ten Production songs seeing popularity were performed by the
A Teens and
Helena Paparizou. Deasismont's albums were published through
Bonnier Amigo Music Group. Deasismont is a talented live singer and does not lip sync 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. 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. She 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. Further, she is the youngest artist to receive two simultaneous NRJ Radio Awards and the youngest to be nominated for the Swedish Grammy Awards.
Second album Deasismont 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. Although not much was heard from her in the spring, the second album was highly anticipated. Two days before the announced release date, she was interviewed on
Nyhetsmorgon, a morning talk show, on
TV4. The host surprised her by handing her a gold record for the album; it had already sold enough copies on pre-orders alone to be certified. "Don't Cry Your Heart Out" was a radio hit in Sweden.
Still Me Still Now continued in the same style as the previous album, being mostly light-pop music. "Don't Cry Your Heart Out" was radio-friendly pop, but songs such as "Diamonds" and "No Regrets" were arranged in a style reminiscent of
musicals. Some reviews wondered about the song selections, but Deasismont's voice was praised nevertheless. The selected songs were alleged by some to be unsuitable for Deasismont and her audience, but her potential was appreciated. In mid-2006, Deasismont 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 was not 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. She 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, she started a fan club that publishes a quarterly fan magazine called Amy Diamond Fanzine
. Lastly, in September 2007 she sang "In The Ghetto" on Elvis – The Original Cast''.
Third album Throughout the second half of 2007, Deasismont recorded her third album,
Music in Motion. The album contains tracks done by some renowned producers such as
Max Martin and
Alexander Kronlund, who previously worked with
Britney Spears. The first single, called "Is It Love?", from the album was released on 26 September 2007. She performed the song on some TV shows like
Bobster and
Bingolotto, and won "Best Female Artist" at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. The album was released on 28 November 2007 and her second single "Stay My Baby" (from the new album), written by Max Martin and Tommy Tysper, was released on 23 November. Deasismont entered
Melodifestivalen, the Swedish selection for the
Eurovision Song Contest, in February 2008. Her song was called "
Thank You", and it earned her 8th place in the final round. The song was later included on the re-release of her album, entitled
Music in Motion – Gold Edition. Deasismont received yet another gold disc for this album.

En Helt Ny Jul ("A Brand New Christmas"), comprising traditional Swedish Christmas carols. It is described as being a classic style Christmas album, but with a dose of pop. This is her first album sung completely in Swedish. The album went Gold.

Alexander Bard,
Bobby Ljunggren and
Oscar Holter. On 14 February 2009, she competed in the 2nd semi-final of
Melodifestivalen and was nominated to be the first finalist, but eventually lost to
H.E.A.T. with "1000 Miles". She was also awarded the international jury's wildcard nomination of the evening. On 7 March, she took part in the second chance round in
Norrköping but lost the first knock-out round to
Star Pilots with "Higher" and also lost the international jury wildcard to
Sofia with "Alla", thus failing to reach the final. Her fifth album (including the singles "It's My Life", "Up", "Brand New Day" and "Bittersweet") titled
Swings and Roundabouts, released in Scandinavia on 21 October, also reached Gold status. Deasismont was one of seven celebrity choir leaders in the third season of the Swedish TV4 show
