Since his emergence on the music scene, Tony Ann’s popularity has grown exponentially, reaching 7 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of streams. Through his viral video series #playthatword, the keyboard virtuoso has brought instrumental music to a new generation, composing pieces live and engaging directly with his audience. In his latest album, 360°, he explores the full spectrum of the piano to convey a broad palette of emotions. Redefining the codes of neoclassical and pop music, the Canadian musician showcases his relentless mastery of the instrument on stage through dizzying harmonies and remarkable melodic sensibility.

In 2024, the year he released his first EP, the young musician was already opening for two of his biggest idols, Andrea Bocelli and Hans Zimmer. His music, blending folk, classical, and contemporary influences, takes listeners on an intimate, emotionally rich inner journey. Inspired by Irish landscapes and folklore, his compositions spark the imagination, weaving atmospheres that are both intimate and cinematic. At Cully Jazz, his concert will open an evening showcasing two solo piano projects from a new wave of artists brilliantly reinventing the codes of neoclassical music.
