David Garcia, better known by his stage name Cookin' Soul, was born in 1985 in [[Madrid]], [[Spain]] into an [[Armenians|Armenian]]-[[Catalans|Catalan]] family. At the age of four, his family relocated to [[Valencia]], a culturally rich city located on Spain’s southeastern coast where the [[Turia (river)|Turia River]] meets the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. His musical journey began early, inspired by his mother's weekend sessions of [[James Brown]] and other classic tunes played on cassette tapes.
