Carlos Picado

a bit about me

Born in South Africa to Portuguese parents and living in Australia since 1997.
I have had the privilege of experiencing and being exposed to such a mixed music genre.
From the Township music of Johnny Clegg and Mango Groove to The Fado of Portugal to our local bands like Midnight Oil, Icehouse and Cold Chisel I love the many styles and emotion that all these genres bring.
During my downtime I enjoy model building, collecting vinyls and CD’s and tinkering with electronic projects and toys and bringing you entertaining music and community news on your local station VCA88.5FM.
Please join me for my Disco show every Thursday and my 70’s and 80’s Classics on Sunday nights where The Valley Comes Alive.
