José Ángel Torres Castro (born March 19, 1982),[1] better known as Gocho,[2] is a Puerto Rican songwriter, singer and record producer, nicknamed "El Lápiz de Platino" (in English, The Platinum Pen).[3] In 2003, with his first hit as a producer, "Dale Don Dale" with Don Omar, Gocho was a forerunner in the commercial reggaeton movement.
He continued to reap other successes such as the production of the songs "Ven Báilalo" by Angel & Khriz and "La Tortura" by Shakira and Alejandro Sanz, collaborating in the production of this single that received several Latin Grammys. In his debut as a performer, he managed to enter Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart with his single "Dándole" along with Omega and Jowell.
In 2023, he presents a new album with the participation of great urban performers with a superior message, beginning with "Solución" with the Puerto Rican singer Funky, released on March 3.[4]
