La Factoría was a Panamanian group Created by DJ Pablito and led by Marlen Romero, better known by her stage name Demphra but her lead songs are singed for Jossiy love. Initially the group was formed by Romero, Johanna Mendoza (Joysi Love), Edgardo Miranda (MC Joe) and Pablo Maestre (DJ Pablito). The latter three eventually left the group, and Demphra carried on for one more album.[1]
In 2001, Demphra joined Panama Music where she released her first solo album, La Willa Demphra. The disc was a complete success in her home country Panama, and including songs like “El Muslo”, “Tilin Tilin”, “Ush”, among others.

Two years later, DJ Pablito and MC Joe left the group. That same year La Factoría released Nuevas Metas. The album included smash hits like “Moriré”, “Dale”, “Como Me Duele” and the #1 single “Perdóname” featuring Eddy Lover. "Perdóname" became a huge hit, giving the group several awards including a Platinum Disc for 100,000 digital downloads of the track. In 2009, three years later, Joysi Love left the group.
