In the 70s he became a fan of rock and bands such as the
Rolling Stones,
Pink Floyd, and in Medellín he was part of the group Nash. Later in Bogotá he joined Compañía Ilimitada, with which he was linked until 1990. Back in Medellín, he was part of Dloop and Lakesis, he started making music for advertising. His career as a producer started when a
BMG label executive asked him what he was doing at Lakesis and, without knowing why, he replied: "I am the producer". Since then he started working as a producer, not only with
Shakira but also with other artists like Jose Gaviria. In 1995 he produced and co wrote Pies Descalzos for Sony. Between 1996 and 1998 lived in Mexico City and Los Angeles, and since 1998, when he worked with Shakira on the production of
Dónde Están los Ladrones? he established himself in Miami. "It has not been easy, in Miami it is difficult to break the mold of latin rhythms". For him, artists such as
Bacilos, Polo Montañés,
Juanes and Shakira have been very important because they have exposed music made in Miami to the world and have shown that in variety lies pleasure of learning, making and listening to music. Ochoa received a nomination for
Producer of the Year at the
4th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. ==Discography==
