VIRTUOSO PIANIST & SOCIAL MEDIA PHENOMENON TONY ANN ANNOUNCES THE PRE-ORDER OF HIS NEW ALBUM 360°
OUT ON FEBRUARY 21ST
10 JANUARY 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Reaching yet another creative high watermark, piano virtuoso, multiplatinum songwriter, and social media sensation Tony Ann announces the pre-order of his anxiously awaited full-length sophomore album, 360°, on February 21, 2025 via Decca Records/Universal Music France. Over the past year and until the end of the cycle at the end of February, he has released a new single corresponding to the astrological sign of the month. All 12 tracks will be included on the 360° album.
Once again, he advances creatively on 360°. Each song functions as a meditation on a different horoscope, encompassing 12 keys at different meters and tempos. It plunges listeners into a living and breathing musical ecosystem punctuated by bliss and catharsis. He employs the full range of the piano to evoke the singularity of these respective astrological signs. The entire suite revolves around his virtuosic chops, melodic empathy, and electrifying energy. Once again, he redefines the neoclassical space.
Regarding the concept for the full project, Aries is the first sign of the astrological year. It begins with the Spring Equinox. Next, the astrological signs follow the seasons, which are correlated with the earth's rotation around the sun (a 360-degree cycle). This offers four highlights: the Summer Solstice (90 degrees), the Autumn Equinox (180 degrees), the Winter Solstice (270 degrees) and the Spring Equinox (360 degrees).
Tony Ann kicked off the latest cycle of his project at the Winter Solstice with the release of “CAPRICORN ‘The Ambitious’”. This will be followed by the release of “AQUARIUS ‘The Explorer’” on January 17, finishing on February 21 with the album release featuring the latest sign, “PISCES, ‘The Artist’”.
In other news, Tony started an international tour in 2024 and will continue in 2025. It will start in March with his debut tour in Australia, and then Europe. More dates to come. He had his first viral hit in 2024 with ICARUS: +55M streams and +2M creations on socials.
Tony Ann released his first single in 2023 and now has over 200 million streams.

ABOUT TONY ANN:
Following stints at both Cleveland Institute of Music and Berklee College of Music, the classically trained solo pianist has consistently unveiled viral content at a prolific pace. His online imprint consists of nearly 6 million total followers, while he has generated several billion total views. Along the way, he has instituted fan favourite series such as “play that word” where viewers suggest words, and he crafts his own original compositions with letters on the keyboards.
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.
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.
