ANNA DUBOC

With 60M+ streams, numerous singles since 2019, and a rapidly expanding audience, 19-year-old Anna Duboc continues to distinguish herself through an artistic voice defined by emotional honesty, musical sophistication and fearless storytelling. While her recent breakthrough track “Lily” introduced listeners to some of the deepest, most vulnerable corners of her songwriting, her infectious new single “Toxin” reveals another equally authentic dimension of her artistry. The song features elements of her trademark introspection sharing the spotlight with playful lyricism, irresistible grooves, romantic ambiguity and a fresh sense of freedom. As the first lead single from Anna’s forthcoming EP, “Toxin” signals an expansion of the trademark insightfulness that has marked her emergence as a compelling multi-talented young artist.

Released on her indie label Gold Note Music (distributed by The Orchard), “Toxin” evolved from a simple title Anna had jotted into her notebook before stepping into the studio with a new producer. The collaboration quickly became one of her most creatively rewarding recording experiences, allowing her to become increasingly involved not only in composing the lyrics and melodies but also in shaping chord progressions, harmonic movement and the overall architecture of the production.

“I usually write really deep, sometimes depressing songs,” Anna says. “With ‘Toxin’, I wanted people to have fun, dance, sing the lyrics and enjoy the groove, even though there’s still an introspective narrative underneath the lightheartedness. It’s not a completely new direction—it’s just another layer of who I am.”

Built around an understated rhythmic pulse that’s felt as much as heard, “Toxin” explores the conflicting impulses of a relationship that feels equally intoxicating and dangerous. Clever lyrical juxtapositions—“Speak of the devil, you walk right in,” followed moments later by “Baby you’re an angel”—capture the confusion of being irresistibly drawn toward someone who may not be entirely good for you. One of the song’s most revealing moments comes when Anna confesses, “You don’t speak my love language because you don’t speak at all,” before immediately acknowledging the conflicting feelings that keep her invested. Rather than offering easy answers, “Toxin” embraces uncertainty with honesty, wit and infectious energy, inviting listeners to groove along even as they recognize pieces of their own relationships within its lyrics.

“Toxin” also offers the first glimpse into, Anna’s first EP created as she enters adulthood. The project features an extraordinary roster of musicians—including Rhonda Smith, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gary Novak, Tom Crouch, Vixen and others—whose performances complement Anna’s increasingly ambitious songwriting while never overshadowing her distinctive artistic voice. The single will be accompanied by a music video and visualizers directed by Megan Thompson, whose work includes Billie Eilish’s breakthrough “Ocean Eyes,” and Anna will celebrate this exciting new chapter with an August 28 performance at Los Angeles’ iconic Mint, coinciding with her twentieth birthday.

The confidence and creative freedom heard throughout “Toxin” are rooted in the remarkable artistic breakthrough Anna experienced earlier in 2026 with “Lily.” Released during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, with 100 percent of its proceeds benefiting organizations supporting survivors, the powerful piano-driven ballad represented both a profoundly personal statement and an important moment in her evolution as a songwriter.

Originally inspired by an assignment centered on metaphor, “Lily” evolved in an unexpected and uniquely intuitive way. After initially experimenting with abstract imagery that felt disconnected, Anna returned to her natural instincts, creating poetry rooted in meaning and lived experience. Drawing inspiration from the biblical “lilies of the field” referenced in the Sermon on the Mount, she began shaping a narrative connecting the symbolic beauty and fragility of a flower with her own life.

“That assignment was to write with metaphor, and I remember thinking, ‘That’s how I already write,’” Anna recalls. “At first I was just putting together pretty words that didn’t mean anything. Then I went back to my roots and started writing a poem about a lily. As I wrote, it became clear that it was about me—about something I had gone through. The gardener became someone I trusted who hurt me, and the song just unfolded into something more personal.”

That metaphor ultimately became a powerful vehicle for processing betrayal, trauma and healing. In Anna’s hands, the lily transforms from a symbol of innocence into one of resilience, acknowledging pain while offering hope to those navigating similar experiences. Rather than dwelling in heartbreak, the song ultimately points toward renewal, reminding listeners they are not alone and that healing remains possible.

The unflinching honesty of “Lily” established the artistic foundation that continues to define Anna’s music today. Whether she’s writing about trauma, complicated love or life’s quieter contradictions, her greatest strength lies in her willingness to explore difficult feelings with compassion, nuance and remarkable maturity. “Toxin” simply broadens that artistic spectrum, proving that heartfelt honesty can coexist with joy, humor and an irresistible pop sensibility.

Having recently completed her first year of college studying music and songwriting, Anna has become increasingly invested in every aspect of the recording process, from arrangement and harmony to production and overall sonic design. Working with a new creative team has encouraged her to focus more on chord movement, musical textures and the ways production can serve storytelling, further establishing her as not only an expressive vocalist but an increasingly sophisticated producer and musical architect.

This latest chapter builds upon an already remarkable résumé. Anna first gained widespread attention through her ability to combine technical vocal excellence with intensely personal songwriting, showcased through original compositions and imaginative reinterpretations of classic material. Her acclaimed version of Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights,” along with a series of acoustic collaborations featuring Gary Novak, Rhonda Smith and guitarist Toshi Yanagi, highlighted both her impressive four-octave vocal range and her gift for expressive interpretation.

Before dedicating herself fully to her indie pop career, Anna honed her craft at the renowned Adderley Conservatory, whose alumni include Jack Dylan Grazer and Golden Globe winner Ben Platt. She later starred as Velma Kelly in Chicago at Los Angeles’ El Portal Theatre alongside Grazer and portrayed Hermes in Hadestown Teen Edition at Center Stage Santa Barbara. These theatrical experiences continue to shape her commanding stage presence, whether she’s fronting her own band at legendary Los Angeles venues like The Mint or connecting with audiences through intimate live performances and viral online videos.

Her performances have taken her from recording studios to major stages alongside artists including Katy Perry, Kenny Loggins and Andrea Bocelli. Combined with a rapidly growing presence across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, Anna has cultivated a worldwide audience drawn not only to her remarkable voice but also to the honesty and authenticity at the heart of every song she writes.

Growing up in a creative family—her mother, Carol Duboc has penned songs for many legendary artists, including Patti LaBelle and Tom Jones—Anna was immersed in music from an early age, writing songs as a child and developing her voice across pop, jazz, theater and contemporary singer-songwriter traditions. As she continues searching for the right management team and expanding the creative partnerships surrounding her career, she enters this next phase with growing confidence and an ever-clearer artistic vision.

With “Toxin” opening the door to the new EP, Anna is artfully expanding the disarming honesty that first distinguished her as a songwriter. The same artist who invited listeners into the intimate healing journey of “Lily” now reminds us that life’s contradictions can also be celebrated through infectious grooves, clever storytelling and songs that make us smile even as they make us think. Still only 19, Anna continues to emerge not simply as an exceptional young vocalist, but as a thoughtful songwriter, producer and storyteller whose most compelling work is still ahead.
