Anna Sundstrand
Anna Maria Karolina Sundstrand (born 22 February 1989) is a Swedish singer. She is an original member of the Swedish pop group, Play.
Sundstrand was born on 22 February 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden. She began dancing when she was four years old and attended Sway Dance School in Stockholm as well as her bandmate Anaïs Lameche. She is a relative of the Swedish actress Greta Garbo.
Sundstrand was asked to join Play by the group's manager, Laila Bagge, who discovered Sundstrand at her dancing school after seeing her performing at the school. Sundstrand was the first member of the new group, in which she sang alto harmonies and solos.
In 2001, Play's first single "Us Against the World" was featured on the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film Holiday in the Sun and Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire. "Us Against the World" was followed by "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," a cover of a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes and The Temptations. The song featured Chris Trousdale from Dream Street and received high rotation on Radio Disney. Their debut album, Us Against the World, was released in 2001.
In 2003, Replay was released, including two singles, "Whole Again" (a cover of the Atomic Kitten song) and "I Must Not Chase the Boys," It also featured another Diana Ross cover, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." After Replay's release, Faye Hamlin left the group and was replaced by Janet Leon.
In 2004, Don't Stop the Music was released, including the single "everGirl," a tie-in to a Nickelodeon show that was never aired. They also re-recorded "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with Leon. Later that year, the Christmas album Play Around the Christmas Tree was released. It was Sundstrand's final album with the group. After the band's first split, Sundstrand moved to NYC after being signed to New York-based modeling agency Model Management Group (MMG).
In 2009, Play announced their reunion with original members Hamlin and Anaïs Lameche, as well as new member Sanne Karlsson. Sundstrand was not part of the reunion: Lameche claimed she was unable to participate in the reunion as she lived in the United States. However, Sundstrand claimed that she had wanted to participate, but was told "they did not want [her] included."
Since Play ended in 2005, Sundstrand was signed to Model Management Group (MMG) based in New York (the same agency her bandmate Rosanna Munter was signed). Sundstrand did some modeling for a while and even did some benefit fashion shows. However, in 2005 and 2006 Sundstrand performed around New York City with friend singer Chris Trousdale (who she previously worked with in Play).
