George Ochoa began his musical career with the band Prophet. Ochoa was a part of the band alongside Dion Sanchez and Roger Martinez who would become parts of
Recon and
Vengeance Rising respectively. Prophet recorded a single demo before changing their name DeRoque. After a brief stint with DeRoque, Ochoa departed. Recon went on for a few years until 1990. Before Recon disbanded, Ochoa joined the
thrash metal band,
Deliverance. and recorded on the most influential of the Deliverance discography,
Weapons of Our Warfare in 1990 and
What a Joke in 1991. He left the band in 1991 after the recording of
What a Joke. Ochoa then went on to perform with
Vengeance Rising as a live guitarist in 1992. The band only had two official members at that time, vocalist Roger Martinez and drummer Johnny Vasquez. He performed with them until the band disbanded later that year. In 1994, Ochoa seemingly reunited Recon, however, it appeared that nothing came of the reunion. The same year, Ochoa resurfaced with
Mortification, the Australian death metal, on their album
Primitive Rhythm Machine in 1995 as their guitarist and keyboardist. In 1996, Ochoa left the band. In 2001, Recon reunited for the second time for a performance at the
Cornerstone Festival, with Ochoa returned, being one of three original members. In 2002, Ochoa formed a modern rock band with former Vengeance members,
Larry Farkas and Glen Mancaruso, called S.A.L.T.. However, S.A.L.T. disbanded in 2004. Ochoa remained musically silent until 2010. In 2010, Ochoa played with
Jimmy P. Brown II's side-project Jupiter VI. In 2013, Ochoa formed a
supergroup with Rey Parra, Johnny Gonzales, and Todd Libby. Ochoa later on re-joined Deliverance several years later in 2014 with
