Anna Maria Carolina Sundstrand, born February 22, 1989, is one of the four original members of Play. She was asked to be in Play while she attended a dance school in Sweden.
Anna has always had a passion for singing and dancing, once even saying that if she wasn’t an artist she would still be singing and dancing in front of her mirror!
When Play disbanded in 2005, Anna continued her singing career along with modeling and acting. Her first single, Brand New Me, was released in 2010 and is currently available to buy on iTunes. Anna is currently writing a book about growing up in the entertainment industry.
