“R.Garcia”, “R_Garcia”, and “Randy Garcia” are all the same artist and man.
R_Garcia (Randy Garcia), born April 20th, 1977 in Miami, FL, is a modern electronic composer, producer and multi-instrumental performer. Currently based in Atlanta, GA, Garcia heads the seminal Nophi Recordings, as well as the annual Nophest Summer Music Festival. In addition to his solo work, he composes and tours as part of the critically acclaimed art-rock band, Nerd Parade.
Known primarily for his involvement in the genesis of the American IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) movement, R_Garcia has long employed a punk rock ethic in his musical endeavors, often eschewing traditional industry practices in favor of a Do it Yourself philosophy. Additionally, Garcia’s seemingly endless quest to destroy the notion of genre in music serves as the platform for his constant reinvention.
EARLY YEARS
As a child, R_Garcia was an avid music lover, computer enthusiast and tinkerer. A fortunate product of a liberal family and the 1980′s public school system, he received healthy doses of music and computer courses throughout his elementary years. Around the time of his sixth birthday, Garcia received a brand new Commodore 64 computer, with which he would eventually begin composing simple melodies and rhythms using the BASIC programming language.

'Everything Ever' is the perfect album! I don't care what kind of music you're into, you'll enjoy it. Moves from quirky, upbeat, fun electronic "IDM," to Swingin' Funky grooves and also more serene and thoughtful tracks mixed with electric guitar throughout.
