Born in Madrid on December 28, 1959 in Madrid, Spain, Ana Torroja was more strongly encouraged to further her academic pursuits than her musical ones. Her studies at the School for Economic Sciences paid off most, however when a faculty party allowed her to meet José María Cano, who, with his brother, Nacho, would become her partners in the Spanish supergroup Mecano. The three became successful nearly immediately and would embark on a two-year tour to support their first recordings. The stress of that tour led to the first temporary breakup of Mecano, when Torroja was ordered by a doctor to take a break from singing in order to save her voice.
