The powerful, poignant, and wise in her young years, singer-songwriter Anna Sofia welcomes listeners to a new part of her brain, through her new single “Surround Me”. The second offering this year from the Toronto-based songstress is about feeling the presence of a loved one’s spirit. The track showcases Anna’s personal thoughts on the complex idea of an afterlife and also communicating with it. 

In the “Surround Me” official visual (watch here), which is part of a larger film project to come, Anna is surrounded by the serenity of nature. The cinematic official video, which she co-wrote and co-directed, ends abruptly with her back in the same physical, fear and thought confines from the “No.5” visual (re-watch here), leaving fans to wonder, what will happen next for Anna?!

“‘Surround Me’ is a very special song,” Anna shares. “It talks about our relationship with the spiritual world. I am a firm believer that our two worlds collide and I wanted to express the way I see them working together. Death is the one thing we as humans have in common. We all experience the feeling, but we deal with it differently. My goal with “Surround Me” is to share the way I deal with loss of a loved one. I used to be very negative towards the topic which is understandable, but this song really highlights my effort to find the little signs that indicate that the spirit is still present with me like before. This song has helped me cope with some of the deaths I have experienced.” To be continued…

Growing up just outside of Toronto, Canada, Anna Sofia performed on every stage that would have her, from school recitals to her family restaurant, dreaming of moving abroad to perform like the artists she admired, from Sir Elton John to Tyler the Creator. Now at 18, Anna Sofia has accrued millions of streams and a legion of dedicated fans for one reason: she’s honest. 

The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s music represents an artist living in the moment, reflecting on life and navigating the drama of becoming an adult–with sophisticated, experimental and theatrical tunes free from pretense and bullshit, singing directly from the heart of the Gen Z experience. “I don’t have a message. It’s just real life,” she admits. “My goal is to be a source of comfort, safety and empowerment for my audience. I hope my music can be a tool people can use to help them find strength when they need it, and just feel comfortable in their own skin. I love performing so much because I kinda forget about reality for a bit and it’s just me and the fans, and we party our heads off!!! That connection is everything to me. I’m so happy that live shows are coming back… I just wanna spread love and support everywhere.”
