In The Round with Ana Christina Cash, Carlene Carter, Jodi Marr & Trevor Martin

Ana Cristina Cash is a Nashville-based American singer-songwriter who was originally raised in Miami, Florida by her Cuban parents who moved to the United States in the early 1960s during the onset of the revolution. Growing up listening to a multitude of genres, Cash’s sound was influenced by an eclectic array of inspiration from Country, Pop, improvisational Jazz and Latin music. Writing directly from the heart, the singer-songwriter’s recordings exhibit a broad vocal range, spanning from an expressive and resonating contralto to a soaring coloratura soprano, otherwise known as the “whistle register.” Ana earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Florida International University and her master’s degree in creative writing and literature from Harvard University.

The bilingual artist started her professional music career debuting her talents at age 6 on the Spanish-language variety show “Sabado Gigante,” where she continued to film regularly until the age of 14.

Carlene Carter has been releasing music for more than four decades. The daughter of June Carter Cash and country star Carl Smith, and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, she is the physical embodiment of the Carter Family in the 21st century. Carlene started her career singing with The Carter Family while still a teen. With the 1978 release of her self-titled debut album, she established herself on the edgier end of the country music spectrum, having recorded it in England with Graham Parker’s band The Rumour. After releasing several more albums throughout the ‘80s, she became Nashville's homecoming queen of 1990 when her rockin' "I Fell In Love" topped the country singles and video charts and was nominated for a Grammy. Her dynamic personality made her a natural as VH1's first country video hostess with her own daily hour, The Carlene Carter Show, and she had another smash hit single and video with "Every Little Thing," from Little Love Letters, in 1993. In recent years, she released an album of Carter Family tunes entitled Carter Girl, a record of duets with John Mellencamp (Sad Clowns & Hillbillies), and was featured in the Ken Burns’ Country Music documentary series. 

Grammy and Ivor Novello Award-winning multi-genre songwriter, producer, composer and author Jodi Marr has written and produced hit songs for artists and icons including Dolly Parton, Ricky Martin, Carole King, Kristin Chenoweth, Charlie XCX, ex-Spice Girls Melanie C, Orianthi, Ana Cristina Cash, Rita Wilson, Jordin Sparks, Monica, Sara Evans, TikTok Phenom Adrien Nuñez, Juno Award-winning Johnny Reid and Reggae/ World Music legend Gramps Morgan.

JODI specializes in artist development and worked with megastars TAYLOR SWIFT, KATY PERRY and CHARLIE XCX early in their careers.  She discovered, developed and produced several UK-based pop acts who went on to global success, including PALOMA FAITH and MIKA.  

She is currently writing songs, developing artists and teaching Commercial Songwriting and Artist Development at Belmont University. In 2023, She developed a first-of-its-kind university course in Artist Identity and Development, now part of the permanent Belmont Commercial Songwriting Curriculum. 

She serves on the board of the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame and its Board of Electors and is a past board member of South Florida Chapter of NARAS (Grammys), Nashville Songwriters Association International.
