John Pilato, Country and Folk Genre Manager
John Pilato (he/him) is WQAQ’s ’25-’26 Country and Folk Genre Manager! John is a senior majoring in journalism with minors in Sports Studies and Sociology. In his free time, he watches a lot of sports and plays trivia and video games.
His artist spotlight is country singer, Avery Anna. He likes her slow songs that tackle heavy issues just as much as her upbeat ones, and enjoys the rock elements she includes. Last year, as a general member, he covered a few country shows and was a member of the trio of the Chino Chillers. He’s bringing it back this year on Tuesdays from 10-11pm, so be sure to tune in!
