Amanda Georgiadi was born and raised in Greece's Ioannina up until she was three-years-old.
Then her family moved away to Norway to a town called Tenfjord, so Amanda adopted the place for her stage name and she performs under the name Amanda Tenfjord. While there, she studied alongside pop star Sigrid.
After falling in love with music, the 24-year-old started working on her own and released her debut EP back in 2018 to rave reviews from critics.
She has since been propelled further to fame thanks to 2019 track called 'Troubled Water' - which was included in Netflix series Spinning Out - and 2021 EP 'Miss The Way You Missed Me'.
But perhaps most impressive is that Amanda is multi-talented and is currently studying medicine to become a doctor, alongside her Eurovision and singing commitments.
What is Greece's Eurovision 2022 song called?
'Die Together' is the name of the song that Amanda wrote alongside Bjørn Helge Gammelsæter.
Speaking recently about the meaning behind the song when it was first announced, the singer explained, "The title of the song may have a negative connotation.
"But if you listen carefully to the lyrics of the song you will realise that it is the anthem of absolute love."
