Born in Gagnef, a small and quaint village in Dalarna county surrounded by horses, forest and a strong presence of traditional folk music. Amanda began performing and recording music under the artist name Hajen (The Shark) and in 2010 she released her first EP as a solo artist, but under her pseudonym Idiot Wind. She quickly gained attention both in Sweden and abroad and has since toured both at home and international with bands such as First Aid Kit and The Tallest Man On Earth.
In 2012, Amanda started the band Amason with friends and musicians Pontus Winnberg, Petter Winnberg, Nils Törnqvist and Gustav Ejstes and in 2016 they won a Grammis for best album with their amazing first album, Sky City'.
The following year, Amanda debuts as a solo artist with the charismatic and dreamlike album 'Docks'.
In 2019, Amason released the sequel 'Galaxy I' with some exclusive and highly celebrated concerts as a result. In 2020, the band will be up to date with more music, touring and as a house band in the final episodes of SVT's long-running successful TV game show På Spåret (On The Track).
