JOHNNYSWIM—Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano—translate the memories, moments, and milestones on their journey as a married couple into spirited, slick, and soulful anthems steeped in singer-songwriter tradition, yet amplified by alternative experimentation, rock energy, and pop ambition. Building a fanbase through constant touring, 2013’s ​Heart Beats ​EP spawned “Don’t Let It Get You Down,” which clocked 17 million-plus Spotify streams. Their first full-length, ​Diamonds​, arrived in 2014 as its single “Home” famously became the theme to HGTV hit ​Fixer Upper.​ The 2016 follow-up ​Georgica Pond​ yielded another fan favorite “First Try” as the duo sold out dates around the world. Along the way, they garnered acclaim from ​Rolling Stone,​ ​NPR,​ ​The New York Times​, ​Huffington Post​, ​Nylon​, ​Du Jour​, and ​VH1​ in addition to performing on ​The Today Show​, ​CONAN,​ and more. Produced by GRAMMY​®​ Award-winning powerhouse Malay [Frank Ocean, Sam Smith], the group’s 2019 third full-length, ​Moonlight [Britannia Row Recordings/BMG], shines a light on the strength of their bond, the scope of their musical palette, and spirit of their stories together.
