About Carlos

Carlos Jose Rafael Garcia, was born and raised in the land of enchantment. Exposed to music and art an early age, learning to love singing and playing guitar under the influence of his musical parents and sisters. Carlos developed his stride while performing with several local bands (including Guitar and Vocals with Ya Ya Boom, Guitar and Vocals in Age of Apathy, and drums in both Rosenhymn and Holiday Sail). Carlos literally developed his new outlook on life while walking an unforgiving trek through the New Mexico deserts between Albuquerque and the sacred town of Chimayo. The vision at the end of the journey turned out to be more than a mirage, giving Carlos the foresight to make music and art his sole focus in life. Carlos cooks his unique recipe of sound with a dash of personality and a pinch of eclectic styles. Although Carlos’ style ranges widely, the taste of the final product is always influenced by the people that he has met, loved, and the world around him.

Sick, sick-er, sickest
