At a young age, Garcia discovered his passion for music when he joined the school choir and marching band. He continued to produce music and write songs throughout his life. As an aspiring artist in his adulthood, he became very proactive about his dreams; he moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to seek opportunities in the entertainment industry.

For the holiday season, Garcia’s latest single was his version of “Kasadya Ning Taknaa” (How Blissful is this Season) released on all platforms. He holds the Cebuano Christmas Carol composed by Vicente Rubi dear to his heart as it is reminiscent of the prophets that sung from where he is from. Following the release, he immersed his fans in the holiday spirit by premiering his music video to YouTube on December 12th. From presents and decorations to the Christmas tree filled with ornaments, he shared an intimate scenery. The director of photography was Nilo Sembrano and the second assistant camera was Munn Singh.
