19 year old Carlos Olivero is from Chicago. His mom is Mexican and his father is 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 cracks a lot of jokes, but he's focused on his music. "I learned how to dance from my father, 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 of my uncles and aunts, they danced, they sang, and they performed around the house constantly." 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 this is" - he emphasizes group effort - "we're bringing Latino back and to a whole new audience."
