AMANDA CY
Born in London and raised in Stockholm, Amanda Cygnaeus is a singer-songwriter with a creative outlook that is intentionally undefined by genre.
Now based in Sweden but regularly working in the UK and overseas, she has built deep ties within a close-knit international community of creatives. Amanda’s writing draws on Sweden’s rich tradition of melody-led pop but her own palette leans left-of-centre. Melodies come instinctively, but her lyricism sets her apart.
She is frequently brought into sessions for her ability to generate ideas, as well as edit and refine: pushing songs beyond their first impulse, daring collaborators to articulate emotion more precisely and polishing ideas until the full potential of the song is realised.
2025 marked a turning point for Amanda, as she put her own artist project on hold to focus on writing for others. The shift brought her strengths as a collaborator into sharper focus, alongside a growing number of high-profile placements and increasing international demand. She has become a trusted writing partner, valued not just for her ideas, but for her taste, judgement and ability to bring a song to completion.
Recent credits include NMIXX (on their double-platinum debut album “Blue Valentine”), Otto Knows, 220 KID, Destiny Rogers, TAEYEON, Jeff Satur, Cloudy June and Son of Son. She was a key collaborative partner across Daniela Rathana’s “Where Strippers Go to Die”, nominated for Pop of the Year at the 2026 Swedish Grammis, playing a central role in creating the album’s emotional and lyrical identity.
That momentum has continued through 2026, beginning with a single on EXO’s “REVERXE” — the group’s long-anticipated comeback album, which sold over one million copies and topped iTunes album charts in 48 regions worldwide. More recently, Amanda co-wrote IU’s “Dear My Crazy Soulmate”, which reached No. 10 on South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart, further establishing her presence at the forefront of international pop.
