Carlos Olivero

18-year-old Carlos Olivero is from Chicago, and is a member of boyband Menudo. His mom is Mexican and his father Puerto Rican. If you ask him what he brings to the group, he'll tell you, "I'm the urban one, I'm the little hip hop guy in the group." He says he's goofy and he cracks a lot of jokes, but he's focused on his music. "I learned how to dance from my father, because he was a break dancer, so I picked up dancing at a young age – I think I was about five years old when I started dancing. Music was always in my blood because my uncles and aunts, they danced, they sang, they performed." Ask him what it means to be in the new MENUDO, and you'll find someone who believes in his mission: "The way we all look at it is" – he emphasizes group effort – "We're bringing Latino back and to a whole new audience!"
