Amanda Leigh Wilson (born 13 April 1980) is an English Platinum selling singer/song writer. She is a member of house music act Freemasons. As part of the act she has scored two major UK hit singles, one of which went on to success in several European charts, and the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. Wilson also scored another major UK and worldwide smash hit working with Avicii and Samuele Sartini on the single "Seek Bromance" in 2010, which went on to be certified Platinum by BPI for selling over 600,000 units in the UK, and certified Gold in numerous countries across Europe.

Biography

As a soloist

Wilson provided lead vocals on the track "When We Were in Love", which made it to the semi-final of The Great British Song Contest 1998 to select the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.

In 2019, French DJ David Guetta played a previously unreleased collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii and Afrojack, with vocals from Wilson. Called "Before I Could Say Goodbye" by fans, the song was played as part of a tribute concert for Avicii and Guetta said that the collaboration was previously unreleased and would likely not be released.

With the Freemasons

Wilson provided lead vocals on many tracks on the Freemasons' album, Shakedown. Her biggest hit was the Freemasons track, "Love on My Mind", which reached number 11 in 2005 on the UK Singles Chart. The song sampled vocals from "This Time Baby" by Jackie Moore, and lyrics from "When The Heartache Is Over" by Tina Turner. Wilson's vocals on the track were electronically lowered in pitch to blend in with the sampled vocals of Jackie Moore.

Following her success with the Freemasons' first album, Wilson went on to provide lead vocals for their 2008 remix of Gusto's "Disco's Revenge", which gave her a third Top 40 hit in the UK (peaking at number 34).
