Anna Maria Karolina Sundstrand 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. 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).
Between 2005 and 2006, Sundstrand was back in the studio where she went to work recording her debut solo album. She recorded two solo songs, "Say It Again" and "Press Rewind" which she debuted during concerts with Trousdale. In 2006, the duo recorded a duet titled "If Only" which they recorded in Sweden. The music video for the song was released via their choreographer Claudia Swan's YouTube account a few years after they filmed it.
In 2008, Sundstrand moved from New York to Los Angeles, California, where she starred in two indie films. Gone Astray, which was filmed in 2008. It is a horror, thriller, and religious film about a group of teens who go on a trip to find their inner faith and end up getting terrorized. Sundstrand starrs as Tara Nigel along with her friend and bandmate Chris Trousdale and Kaila Amariah (The Biggest Fan). In 2009, Sundstrand along with Kaila and 7th Heaven actress Catherine Hicks starred the drama Split Second, which is about a girl who is trying to find out how a car accident that claimed her father's life happened. Sundstrand stars as a police officer named Cathy. Both films were directed by Kaila's father Michael Criscione. The films were scheduled for release sometime in 2010 but were put on hold.
In 2010, after moving back to New York, Sundstrand signed with DampCellar Music and released her debut solo single "Brand New Me" on iTunes. And, in February 2012 it was announced that Sundstrand was being represented by New York-based ColbyModels with which Sundstrand has worked closely for many years.
Currently, Sundstrand has moved back to Sweden where she is continuing with her solo music and writing a non-fiction book based on her life and her struggles as a child in the entertainment industry. In June 2018 Sundstrand announced that she has signed with a Sweden-based publishing company and that her book will be released worldwide in 2018. It has also been confirmed that she is working on new music. Sundstrand released her book "Du Är Utybtbar" in Sweden on 25 February 2020
