Helen Ochoa

A talented Latin pop artist who was raised on a steady diet of José Alfredo Jiménez, José José, and Juan Gabriel, Helen Ochoa follows in the footsteps of corrido, ranchera, and banda greats like La Santa Cecilia, Los Rieleros del Norte, and Calibre 50. Born and raised just outside of Fresno, California, Ochoa began singing at the age of eight and never looked back. After appearing on the popular Puerto Rican singing talent contest Objetivo Fama, Ochoa was asked to join the prestigious record label/artist management company Gerencia 360, with whom she released her hit debut single, a cover of Beyoncé's "Si Yo Fuera un Chico." Ochoa's first full-length studio album, also called Si Yo Fuera un Chico, arrived in 2016. ~ James Christopher Monger
