A virtuoso by trade, Tony Ann is a solo pianist with big ideas. He fuses the styles of both the new and the old to breathtaking effect.
As a self-proclaimed harmony connoisseur, Ann is always thinking of ways to not only push the boundaries of neoclassical and instrumental music but also popular music. While Ann may be limited to music without words he successfully uses all eighty eight keys to his advantage with original compositions steeped in emotion, technique and range. With over 100M+ views and a collective following of 4M+ across social media, Ann has navigated the online world with great success introducing younger generations to neoclassical ideas particularly through his “#playthatword” series.

Using the alphabet written on his keyboard, Ann has created original compositions based on words pitched to him by his audience with many of these pieces released officially. This year, Ann has released a trilogy of EPs (EMOTIONALLY BLUE, ORANGE and RED) in partnership with Decca Records France (Universal Music Group) as part of a series of 15 tracks that explores the many emotions of the human experience.

Away from his solo work, Tony loves collaboration in which he has released tracks with Don Diablo, Wrabel and L.Dre showing his musical elasticity and willingness to immerse himself into different genres such as EDM, Lofi and Pop. 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 (feat. Bebe Rexha)’ as well as the gold US single ’Side Effects (feat. Emily Warren)’. Ann also had the pleasure of touring with them as their official keyboardist for their “Memories: Do Not Open” North American arena tour which also included performances on SNL and Good Morning America.
