ABOUT JOHNNYSWIM

As a unit, they face life\u2019s ups, downs, highs, lows, trials, tribulations, tragedies, triumphs, and everything in between. They change, learn, and grow as one. However, Los Angeles band JOHNNYSWIM doesn\u2019t just seem like a family; it is a family. At the core, husband-and-wife\u2014Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano\u2014translate the memories, moments, and milestones on their journey into spirited, slick, and soulful anthems steeped in singer-songwriter tradition, yet amplified by alternative experimentation, rock energy, and pop ambition.

The music moves as the couple\u2019s life does, scrapbooking unforgettable experiences in melody like an eternal keepsake of their relationship.

In early 2017, JOHNNYSWIM commenced work on ideas for what would become their 2019 third full-length, Moonlight [Britannia Row Recordings/BMG]. Amidst a series of professional changes and Amanda\u2019s pregnancy with their second child, they kick-started the next chapter."
