UPDATED BIO
Tony Ann is a virtuoso in the classical sense and a solo pianist with big ideas. He blends old world and new world styles in a breathtaking way. A self-proclaimed connoisseur of harmony, Ann is constantly thinking about how he can push the boundaries of not only neoclassical and instrumental music, but pop music as well. Although Ann is limited to music without words, he uses all 88 keys to his advantage, with original compositions deeply rooted in emotion, technique and range. With over 100 million views and a collective following of over 4 million on social media, Ann has navigated the online world with great success, introducing neoclassical ideas to younger generations, particularly through his #playthatword series. Using the alphabet written on his keyboard, Ann has created original compositions based on words suggested to him by his audience - many of these pieces have been officially published. This year Ann has released a trilogy of EPs (EMOTIONALLY BLUE, ORANGE and RED) in collaboration with Decca Records France (Universal Music Group), as part of a series of 15 tracks exploring the many emotions of the human experience. Away from his solo work, Tony loves collaborations where he has released tracks with Don Diablo, Wrabel and L.Dre, showing his musical versatility and willingness to delve into different genres such as EDM, lofi and pop. In addition, Ann has successfully collaborated with The Chainsmokers and had a hand in writing both US platinum singles "Sick Boy" and "Call You Mine (feat. Bebe Rexha)" as well as the US gold single "Side Effects (feat. Emily Warren)". Ann also had the pleasure of playing with them as the official keyboardist on their "Memories: Do Not Open" North American arena tour, which included appearances on SNL and Good Morning America. After a recent sold-out 4-show residency at Le 360 in Paris, Tony is looking forward to taking his genre-bending show to more stages, starting with a European tour in April 2024.
