Eduardo Soto is Mochuelo´s drummer and producer. Mochuelo was the winner band at Festival Nuevas Bandas in 2005, and they have recorded three musical productions in studio and one life DVD. His compositions have reached the first positions of the Venezuelan Record Report. His first disc ¨Mochuelo¨ was released in 2006 by the company Space Music Records, and it includes the song ¨Me Desenfocas¨ which was twelve weeks in a row as number one on the Pop&Rock board.

In 2009 a second record production is launched under the name ¨Un Tanto Mas¨ and it got to the first places of the Venezuelan Record Report with the song ¨La Reina del Lugar¨ In this production we can also find the theme ¨No Te Detengas¨ which was part of the soundtrack of the Venezuelan movie ¨Las Caras del Diablo¨

In 2014 Mochuelo presents to the public the album called ¨Casi Muerta¨ a piece that was produced and recorded completely in Eduardo Soto´s studio, with songs that contain a kind of dark atmosphere.
