About JOHNNYSWIM

Johnnyswim is an American folk, soul, blues, and pop music duo consisting of singer-songwriters Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez, formed in 2005 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ramirez trained as a musician at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in his native Jacksonville, Florida.

Ramirez and Sudano first met after Sunday service at a church in Nashville, Tennessee. Four years later, in 2005, Sudano attended a songwriting workshop held by Ramirez and became interested in writing songs with him.

Johnnyswim independently released their first self-titled EP on June 30, 2008.

In 2009, the duo collaborated with Bruce Sudano on the track "Morning Song" which appeared on his record Life and the Romantic.

In 2010, they released their second EP, 5-8 and toured around the country.

In 2011, they released the single "Bonsoir". In September that year, the duo traveled to India with VisitingOrphans.org. Inspired by their experiences there, they wrote the track "Hallelujah" featuring Tulsi. It was released in December 2011 with all profits going to the efforts of the charity.
