A virtuoso by trade, Canadian composer Tony Ann is a solo pianist with big ideas. With over +1 billion views and a following of +5 million across social media, Ann has navigated the online world with great success, introducing younger generations to neoclassical music, particularly through his popular “#playthatword” series.
In 2023, Ann released a trilogy of EPs in partnership with Decca Records France (UMG) as part of a series of 15 tracks that explores the many emotions of the human experience. In 2024, Ann has slowly been unveiling music from his forthcoming full-length sophomore album 360°, sharing a new single each month, each functioning as a meditation on a different horoscope. His track “ICARUS” also went viral this year; with over +620k uses on Instagram Reels and over +34 million global streams. Away from his solo work, Ann loves collaboration – releasing tracks with artists such as Don Diablo, Wrabel and L.Dre – showing his musical elasticity and willingness to immerse himself into different genres. In addition, Ann has enjoyed working with The Chainsmokers, having a hand in co-writing both the platinum US singles ‘Sick Boy’ and ‘Call You Mine’, as well as the gold US single ’Side Effects’. Ann is currently in the midst of a world tour across dozens of cities throughout North America, South America, Asia and Europe.
