Ana Cristina Cash (born Ana Cristina Álvarez; 2 June 1985) is a Cuban-American singer-songwriter.

Early life and career beginnings

Ana Cristina Cash was born on 2 June 1985, in Miami, Florida and is of Cuban-American descent with ancestry from Asturias via her paternal grandmother whose parents both migrated to Cuba from Spain. Her father, Rene Álvarez, an engineer who founded and runs an air conditioner company, and her mother, Teresita Álvarez, migrated to the United States from Cuba in the early 1960s to escape Fidel Castro's Communist regime. She is the youngest of three sisters.

As a child she tried out for the variety show Sabado Gigante on the Univision network and landed a spot, where she went on to appear frequently between ages six and 13, becoming a champion of the show's singing contests. In middle school she would be pulled from her Catholic school classes to sing at events like weddings and funerals.

Cash signed her first record deal, with Sony Music, at age 15.

She attended high school at Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami, graduating in 2003, and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in journalism from Florida International University and a master's degree in creative writing from Harvard University.

First recordings and early career

Her debut Spanish-language album as Ana Cristina with Sony Music's Latin division, titled Ana Cristina, was released in 2003. It included the single, "A Un Paso De Mi Amor," which had been featured the previous year on the soundtrack of Telemundo Network's telenovela Vale Todo. Another song from the album, ¡Vivan los niños!, was a closing theme of Televisa Network's 2002 telenovela ¡Vivan los niños!.

In 2004, Cash was selected to participate as a songwriter and performer in Festival Mundial De La Cancion ("World Festival of Song") in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as the year's sole representative from the United States, competing with her song "Cuando Menos Lo Esperas."

The following year she performed at the White House as a part of the celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month. Also in 2006, she released the single "You Can Change the World" as a duet with MichelAngelo. Univision used the song's bilingual counterpart, "El Mundo Puedes Cambiar," as its theme song for its FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 coverage.

On 5 January 2009 she released on her own label her album Time, containing all original material, with six tracks in English and three in Spanish, produced by Randy Barlow.
