Anna Maria Carolina Sundstrand (born February 22, 1989) is a Swedish singer and model. She was a member of the Swedish pop group Play from the group's formation in 2000 when she was 12 until their breakup in 2005. Sundstrand was the youngest member of the group until Janet Leon joined in 2003.
Anna was selected to be a part of Play by Laila Bagge, who owned a dance studio in Sweden called 'Sway' in which Anna was enrolled. She is a relative of the Swedish actress Greta Garbo. Up until Janet Leon joined Play after original member Faye Hamlin left the group, she was also the youngest member of Play.
Since Play's disbanding, 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) Anna began a modeling career, signing with Model Management Group based in New York City (the same agency to which her bandmate Rosie Munter has signed) and posing for a 2006 calendar being marketed to the same audience that followed Play. Additionally, she has been exploring a solo singing career. She has performed several times with Chris Trousdale, a former member of boy band Dream Street. Her debut album was expected to be released in 2007, but now is expected to be released sometime in 2008.
Sundstrand was most often heard singing the middle harmony/melody line of Play songs, but sometimes she also sang the higher harmonies. On various performances of the song "Don't Stop the Music" from Play's album Don't Stop the Music, Sundstrand sang the higher harmony while fellow member Rosie Munter sings her solo.
