In 2002, Demphra joined Panama Music where she launched her first solo album, "La Willa Demphra". The disc was a complete success in her home country Panama including songs as: “El Muslo”, “Tilin Tilin”, “Ush”, among others. After the success of this album MC Joe, Goodfella, Joysi Love and DJ Pablito got together with Demphra and La Factoría was formed.

In 2000 La Factoría launches “Más Allá” songs like: “No Lastimes Más” and “Ese Hombre es Mío” they became huge hits in Latin America.

Two years later DJ Pablito and MC Joe left the group.
