One of the ladies leading the charge is the fearless and dynamic Helen Ochoa.Born and raised in Fresno, California, Helen’s life was steeped in music from the very start. She grew up idolizing legends like Selena Quintanilla, Vicente Fernández, Rocío Dúrcal, and Juan Gabriel — icons who brought the heart and soul of Mexico to stages around the globe. Though Helen didn’t know how or when, she was certain of one thing: one day, she would find her place under the bright lights, sharing her voice with the world.Helen’s journey has been anything but easy. Every stage, every song, and every milestone has been hard-won, fueled by resilience, passion, and an unshakable belief in the power of her voice. And though the road has been filled with obstacles, Helen Ochoa continues to rise — inspiring a new generation of women to claim their space in a genre where they’ve long been told they don’t belong.____
