About Cash Cash
Cash Cash is an American DJ trio from Roseland, New Jersey. The group consists of three DJs / musicians: brothers Jean Paul and Alex Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch. They produce, record, mix and master all their music together as a trio. The group's highest-charting song to date is their RIAA platinum-certified single "Take Me Home", which features vocals by Bebe Rexha. Throughout their career, they have released a wide range of original songs featuring diverse artists such as, John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, Nelly, Wiz Khalifa, Lukas Graham, Andy Grammer, Christina Perri, Busta Rhymes, Dashboard Confessional, among many others.
Over the years, Cash Cash released music on various record labels. They were first discovered in 2008 by Universal Republic Records, where they released their debut full length album. Following their departure from Universal Music in 2010, they released music on various independent labels such as Spinnin' Records and their own label "Cash Cash Music." From 2013–2021, they exclusively released all of their original music through Big Beat Records and Atlantic Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group worldwide. On August 26, 2022, Cash Cash announced on their social media platforms that they had parted ways with their longtime record label Big Beat / Atlantic Records and posted a video in the New York Sony Music office signing a new record deal with Ultra Records & Sony Music Entertainment.
As of 2022, the group has released five full-length albums, an array of EPs and singles, and co-wrote, produced, and featured on Pink's charting single "Can We Pretend." Aside from their original music, Cash Cash has provided official remixes for worldwide artists such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and various others as well as produced and co-wrote Krewella's charting single "Live for the Night."
Cash Cash members Jean Paul Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch first began playing together under the name The Consequence in 2002. As The Consequence, the band put out three releases independently, Your Own Place , The Consequence , and By The Bedside . The band went through various keyboardists and drummers before solidifying the group with Alexander Makhlouf and drummer Anthony Villacari in 2007.
In early 2008, the group coalesced under the name Cash Cash, with members Jean Paul Makhlouf, Alexander Makhlouf, and Samuel Frisch. They came up with the name Cash Cash due to legal issues that arose from not trademarking their previous name 'The Consequence'. In an interview Jean Paul stated, "Basically we were in a previous group growing up and never thought to copyright the name because when you're a young local garage band, you don't have the money and don't think it really matters. Well after we signed our first record deal, it kind of did matter. We got hit with a ton of legal notices about it from the person who owned the name, and had this old agent trying to screw us over, so when putting the new group together out of frustration, I was like, we should just name this group 'Cash Cash' because every one is after our cash, and we don't have any yet."
They signed with Universal Republic Records and soon after released an EP, Cash Cash, which reached number 24 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. In 2008, the group toured with groups such as Tyga, Metro Station, Boys Like Girls, The White Tie Affair, and Forever The Sickest Kids. Their debut full-length album Take It to the Floor was released digitally on December 23, 2008, on iTunes by Universal Republic Records and physically on January 20, 2009, reaching number 31 on the Heatseekers chart. During the winter of 2008 and 2009, the group did a Hot Topic in-store tour with We The Kings and Hey Monday, performing acoustic songs and doing signings. In April 2009, Cash Cash toured with Kevin Rudolf, Hyper Crush, and Jeremy Greene on the Let it Rock tour. Cash Cash played the main stage at Bamboozle in May 2009 and then toured the United Kingdom opening for Cobra Starship. That summer they performed on the Vans Warped Tour. In fall of 2009 they toured with Family Force 5 and Breathe Carolina.
In late 2009 and 2010, the group released several singles which were not part of an album or EP release, including a cover of Cascada's single "Everytime We Touch" featuring rapper MC Oz. The group continued to tour through the winter of 2010, playing the Seattle Kiss FM show "Jingle Bell Bash" with The All-American Rejects, Cobra Starship, and All Time Low. At the end of February and into the spring of 2010, the group went on their first headlining United States tour, "The Robots in Hightops Tour." On March 9, 2010, Cash Cash released a cover single of the Alphaville song "Forever Young". The band released a new single in mid-November 2010 by Universal Republic Records titled "Red Cup ", featuring Lacey Schwimmer and Spose. Jean-Paul Makhlouf performed the opening theme to Sonic Colors called "Reach for the Stars" as well as the ending theme "Speak With Your Heart" with band member Alex Makhlouf. Both of these tracks would later be remixed for the Sonic 30th Anniversary Symphony in 2021 and then used in Sonic Colors: Ultimate later in the same year.
