Cristina Rascón was born on Chihuahua, Mexico on May 25, 1979 to Carlos Rascón and Cristina Meléndez. From a young age, she showed interest on the arts. At the age of 14, Cristina sang with De la Garza Group that performed songs spanning various musical genres including traditional Mexican, Norteño, and American Pop & Rock. She also performed musicals with Taller de Arte in Chihuahua, where she was the narrator for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
While attending high school in Mexico City, she performed in the Valores Bacardi y Compania nationwide singing contest where she was chosen as a finalist among thousands of contestants and was offered a scholarship to Conceptos, a singing academy run by Televisa, the largest Spanish-speaking media company.[1] During this period, she performed in well-known theaters in Mexico City including Teatro Libanes where she performed in various musicals including Evita, the long running Hercules, and, again, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
At 18, she gained significant exposure from her work with Conceptos and was chosen by Jose Antonio Gonzáles to perform with Son de Mexico, a classical Mexican group sponsored by Mexicana Airlines. With Son de Mexico, she traveled throughout Mexico, South America, and the United States performing for Mexican embassies, political events, national festivals, and concerts. The group consistently appeared on national television broadcasts in Mexico including Al Fin de Semana, Pacatelas, and El Espacio de Tatiana. Cristina was also featured on national radio broadcasts including Al Son de Mexico. The group recorded two albums, including "Si Tu Me Dices Ven".
Cristina has performed as an opening act for groups in Mexico and the United States including Kumbia Kings, Aida Cuevas, Los Huracanes de Norte. She also earned a scholarship to the University of Texas at El Paso in 2000 and was on the Dean's List for excellent academic performance throughout her tenure there ultimately earning a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing.
