Our Story

7000apart is a Swedish/American indie band fronted by Amelie Eiding and Jonathan Kresin. Their journey began as a high-school romance, turned 7,000 km long-distance relationship, and then evolved into a dynamic musical partnership and marriage.

In spring 2025, they successfully funded their third album “Why do we do what we do?” through a crowd-funding campaign, and they’re releasing singles throughout the year. Blending indie pop with touches of 2000s rock and folk, the album is a raw, introspective journey through emotional survival, identity, ambition, and love. With songs that explore everything from inner demons to fractured relationships and the cost of chasing dreams, Why do we do what we do? asks hard questions without offering easy answers, capturing the beautiful contradictions of being human.

Live shows have always been a main focus for 7000apart. Since 2017, they have done over 600 performances, connecting with audiences around the USA, Sweden and beyond, through their raw, emotional storytelling and electric stage presence. 

7000apart has had the opportunity to collaborate with industry veterans, including working with Tommy Johansson of Sabaton, and opened for major acts like X Ambassadors and Bebe Rexha, with those performances connected to the Green Bay Packers. They have also showcased their talent at notable festivals, including Sweden's Future Echoes, Summerfest in Wisconsin, and Mile of Music in Wisconsin. Additionally, they were featured on Sweden's Got Talent (Talang 2020) and had their song "Blank Check" placed on the national MTV show The Hills: New Beginnings.

Since their debut album We Are More (2019), 7000apart has won awards such as WAMI’s Pop Album of the Year (2025) Best New Artist (2021), Best Pop Song (2022) and Sweden’s Rocknallen (2021), as well as racked up over 300,000+ streams on Spotify alone. With their third album underway and more tours on the horizon in both the USA and Europe, 7000apart remains committed to using their music to destigmatize mental health struggles and inspire their audience.
