Carlos Alfredo Jr.

Carlos Alfredo Jr. is a multifaceted bilingual artist from Oakland, California. He is of Ecuadorean and Mexican descent. Growing up alongside his sisters in his family owned Mexican Restaurant, Carlos learned the importance of family and garnered a life-long love for people. There he also discovered his passion for music through the Jukebox that kept his customers happy.


As a young teen he discovered a passion for the guitar, practicing religiously into his late teens. It wasn't long before he began lending his talents to local bands. He played everything from Rock, Heavy Metal, and eventually Latin music in a band that taught him to play Cumbias, Rancheras, and Balladas, performing for the countless weddings and quinceañeras in his community. It was clear that Carlos was on a musical journey as he continued to nurture his musical abilities, eventually even taking his talents to the streets of Los Angeles where he learned the art of street performing. Naturally, his love for music inspired him to write songs of his own, both in English and Spanish. As a singer-songwriter, Carlos taught himself to play other instruments including, Drums, Piano, Bass, and the Harmonica.


Carlos is currently starring as an actor in Selena: The Series, portraying legendary keyboardist Joe Ojeda, an original member of Selena y Los Dinos.
