At early years many members were tested for musicianship but many weren't up for it. Still, he was very eager to share and do his own musical ideas so he quit the band in 1992 to form Alter Ego. Oganes and Valero were classmates and also long-time friends who shared similar musical tastes Oganes was also a keyboard player in another band during school years which had quite a following but wasn't serious in its intent. Juan Carlos Oganes, lead singer and pianist, and Antonio Valero, guitarist, were playing in a folk band called Yawar Macta playing mainly cover songs of popular folk groups of South America. Juan Carlos Oganes is also known as an actor, audiovisual producer and filmmaker having directed some short and feature films with his company Emporium Digital Studios.
Some time after, a new line up was to be formed by Oganes to play new material which was supposed to be released as an album called 'Cinema' back in 1999 before their split. They recorded much material since their first years and many of those songs ended in their 1997 debut album called Utopia.īy the end of the 1990s, friction within the band led to their momentary split in 2000. Alter Ego paid much attention to theatrics and used the cinematographic expertise of Oganes -to create a sense of audiovisual entertainment. The album was produced by him and recorded at Emporium Digital Studios. They combined much of the anthem-type compositions of Juan Carlos Oganes with nice and lush vocal harmonies in the style of Queen and Yes.
