Who Is Gocho?
Jose "Gocho" Torres may well be called the Prodigy name of Reggaeton, because at 28 years old has one of the most successful careers as both a producer, composer, record deal and now also as a performer. A native of Carolina, Puerto Rico, Jose Angel Castro Torres has worked with the likes of Shakira, Daddy Yankee and the duo Angel y Khriz, among others, becoming today the most complete artist and with the greatest gender within a constant reinvention process.
Gocho was born into a family dedicated to music: his grandfather is the creator of the vocal quartet "Hispanics of Puerto Rico", Rafi Torres, his father, is a legendary trombonist who has played with greats such as Tito Nieves salsa and Ray Barreto, his brother, Luis Rafael Torres, a member of the band "Culture Prophecy" and her aunt's showgirl artists like Ednita Nazario and Luis Fonsi.
However, originally, the interest of Jose Angel was in Medicine and in fact, spent two years studying biology at the University of Puerto Rico.
The music eventually had to shake the life of Joseph "Gocho" Torres and used his friend Angel (the duo Angel y Khriz) to achieve this. While accompanying the studio came the jolt that finally turned her life. "Then I woke up the interest in music, but from the other side of the stage and began to compose for them," says the artist. Immediately came the hits like Come Bailalo, subject that received the Composer of the Billboard Magazine's decade and that today is a classic music. Composing was just one of the areas in the music industry which Gocho wanted to pursue. But his talent and good smell go much further. So when barely twenty, worked hard in the cargo area of an airport until he could raise the money to produce his first album for you. Thus, in late 2002 came "MVP" that included interpreters as Zion and Lennox, Angel y Khriz, Yaviah and Don Omar, with his hit "Dale Don Dale".
Later Gocho also entered the industry as a record deal. Together with a partner founded the MVP Records label. Under this brand produced among others, the Divine album, "All in good time" and "MVP" Angel y Khriz, "The MVP 2: The Grandslam" Songs of Hector "El Father", Eddie Dee, Zion and Lennox and Yaviah and disk El Cartel, Daddy Yankee and recently composed two songs for the album Tobby Love. But undoubtedly, the most proud of his career as a producer it has to have been responsible for the reggaeton version of the theme La Tortura Shakira definitely a success that catapulted his career.
"It is undoubtedly the most important work I've done in my career. See how someone so creative and can be so famous yet so thorough in what he does and so humble is amazing, "recalls José Ángel.
Originally the idea was never shown Gocho on stage, slowly things also were giving for that area. He was invited to participate in the song "De lao 'to lao'" with Angel y Khriz and then the album Compadres with Mario VI and Valentino, and that gustito took hold of him. "At first I found it very difficult. Fame is also a commitment. But the reaction of people on a platform does not compare to anything, "he says.
My music is the debut album by José "Gocho" Torres saldió solo that sold under the independent label New Era Entertainment. A disk that synthesizes the style that has led to success by other performers, but this time, under its rules. A fusion of reggaeton and vallenato, merengue, mambo and electronics among others. "I want to give new sounds, songs you can listen to people of all ages and especially want to show characters that appeal to the feelings." "Giving" is called the first single, which is accompanied by Jowell, the duo Jowell & Randy and the Dominican mambero Omega in a version made in mambo. Your personal bet is on the theme "If I'm honest," to Gocho, one of the issues that has made stronger. José Ángel recently just signed with the label Vene Music.
Jose Angel Torres, a great singer, a great songwriter, great producer and record deal ... a great artist. "I know how to move copper from all angles," says Gocho. It's time to put it into action.
