Cynthia Alexander[1][2] (b. Cynthia Veronica Ayala, 1971) is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist originally from the Philippines. She has performed on local[3][4][5] and international stages including the Rainforest World Music Festival[6] in Malaysia, the Jack Daniel's World Music Tour[7][8] in Singapore and the Southeast Asian Night Market Festival in New Zealand. She also played gongs and electric bass in foreign engagements (India, U.S., Japan, Canada) with Joey Ayala at ang Bagong Lumad.

As an indie artist, she has released four albums, and is involved in a wide variety of music projects. She composed the eclectic musical score for the Ballet Philippines production, "Wagas",[9][10][11][12] for which she fused electronic, industrial, indigenous, contemporary and pop elements into a cohesive work.

Cynthia is also a self-taught visual artist. She currently resides in Seattle, Washington.[13] She is the sibling of folk-rock singer-songwriter Joey Ayala.
