A few words about Amanda Georgiadi
Amanda Georgiadi lived the first years of her life in Ioannina, which she visits every summer. When she was three years old, her family moved to the small town of Tenfjord (Norway) which “gave” her her artistic surname. There, at the age of 5, Amanda began taking piano lessons and became an amateur musician, writing her first songs as a teenager. At the age of 18 she entered medical school, without giving up her love for music by participating in many festivals in her country.
In one of them, she attracted the interest of a large record company, as a result of which she released her first EP album entitled “First impression” and the stage name Amanda Tenfjord, receiving excellent reviews. Her second EP included the song “Then I fell in love”, which was a great radio success, remaining for more than 20 weeks in the official top 10 radio chart in Norway. In 2020 the song “Troubled Water” was included in the Netflix TV series “Spinning out”.
She recently released her new single “Promises” in collaboration with one of the most notable artists in Scandinavia, Thomas Dybdahl. The song is included in the most important Spotify lists throughout Scandinavia and specifically in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.
Amanda has occasionally appeared on Norway’s biggest TV shows, from “Lindmo” the most popular talk show on NRK public television to the humorous “p3aksjone”. He has also appeared in some of the most important festivals in Europe such as "Reeperbahn Festival ”in Berlin,“ Iceland Airwaves ”in Reykjavik,“ The Great Escape ”in Brighton, UK,“ Eurosonic ”in the Netherlands. In 2020, it would appear at Scandinavia’s biggest and most important festival, “Roskilde”, but it was canceled due to the pandemic. She has finally won the “role model awards” at byLarm, which is the most famous Scandinavian new music festival.
Finally, it is worth noting that in parallel with her artistic career, Amanda continues her studies in medicine, while doing her internship in a specialized hospital in Norway for patients with COVID-19.
