She was discovered by the musical duo Rob'n'Raz when she placed second in the 1989 swedish rap championship. They liked her music and offered her a recording contract. Together with Rob'n'Raz she had her first hit in 1989 with the song "Got To Get" (#8 UK, #3 Germany).
During the first years of her career she had many chart-topping hits and her music was played all over Europe. She broke up with Rob'n'Raz and went on her own to Ibiza, where she was treated like a superstar and managed to set up concerts on her own. Her solo career started in 1991 with the single "Time" which she followed up with many other popular singles, such as her biggest hit "Open Sesame" (#23 UK, #5 Germany) and a cover version of the punk song "Ca plane pour moi" (#13 Germany). In 1993 she was the best selling female artist in Europe.
Leila K's wild lifestyle led her into trouble; her motto was "life is just a party". She did not make much money in 1994 and at the end of the year, she owed the Swedish tax collectors 122 000 SEK (about 17 000 USD).
In 1995 Leila K was back on the music scene with the hit single "Electric". She kept releasing new music until 1997, but since then nothing new has been released by her.
In 1998, Göran Olsson made a documentary about Leila K called Fuck you, fuck you very much. It shows the period surrounding her nomination for the 1996 Swedish Grammis awards, and confrontations with the swedish press due to fabricated stories.
In 2003, the newspaper Expressen reported that Leila K was living as a homeless person on the streets of Stockholm, having to steal in order to get food.
In 2004 she was reported as being in jail.
In 2005, the Swedish cartoonist Martin Kellerman conducted an interview with her for his own Comic book magazine Rocky.
In 2015 Leila K made a return to the stage at the Denniz Pop Awards, named after her former producer.

If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
On and on to the techno song
Through the night, turn me on
Can't do that, gotta keep going
Turn me out, pyramids warning
Through the future, on the right track
Come with me only if you dare
See what's going on now there
Pyramids

Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Hi!
Back with a boom on the same edge
Techno-scene with the K exhausted
Back to jam, hear the gossip
With the dancefloor, I ain't done yet
All you mind, one more time
Pyramids get kids that don't rise
Giving you what you need, so here we go
Bring back that beat
Pyramids on top
Makes you never wanna stop
Pyramids on top
Makes you never wanna stop
Pyramids

Me just a stamper, me just a stamper
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
Me just a stamper, me just a stamper
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
Me just a stamper, me just a stamper
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
Me just a stamper, me just a stamper
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger
If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet
Hi!

The song "Pyramid" by Leila K. is an upbeat techno track that invokes images of a futuristic dance floor. The opening lyrics "Me just a stamper like a pyramid arranger" suggest that the singer is just a worker, someone who is responsible for setting up the pyramids, but the repetitive nature of the phrase implies that they are proud of their work and that it is necessary for the success of the pyramids. The singer then addresses the listener, stating that if they think they know, they actually don't have anything yet.
The chorus invokes the sensation of dancing through the night, with the singer commanding the listener to turn them on and bring the beat back. The pyramids serve as a warning, their presence a reminder that the party will not stop. The final verse reintroduces the singer, stating that they are back with a boom on the same edge, ready to continue the party. The song concludes with the repeated phrase "If you think you know that you don't have nothing yet," implying that there is always more to experience and discover.
