EARLY LIFE Ricky Ricardo Guy Garcia was born on April 22, 1992 in Baton Rouge Louisiana at Earl K. Long Hospital. Garcia was born to Sheri Frank Garcia and Jose Gabriel Garcia. Ricky's parent got divorced on October 22, 2003 and the family was split up. Ricky lived with his Mom and his sisters, Tiffany Renee Garcia (born May 22, 1990) and Jennifer Lyn Garcia (born July 22, 1999). Life for Ricky wasn't as easy as everyone thought it was. He only had a few friends in his middle school year and was different from his Mom's side of the family. His Mom and sisters really enjoyed animals and horse but Ricky thought otherwise and he would have to deal with going to horse shows every weekend. Years after the divorce, Ricky was sent away to live with his Father because his Mom's husband, James Blackwell, was thought of as scum in his mind. Ricky moved in with his Dad but was moved out quickly after he could no longer stand his Dads new wife, Etna Garcia. His Dad moved him to a little shack behind his Uncle Joe Alvarez's house and there he stayed for five months. Ricky really enjoyed his time in the shack. He could do as he wished and no parent would bother him. He still had to work to pay his rent. Ricky began to skip church and was barely seen by his parents, so his Dad moved him back home. Ricky began to teach himself Spanish and music to pass the time but his small problems weren't solved. He would act up in school and ignore the P.E. teacher's commands and on day got three referrals. (One for his F in P.E., the other for breaking a camera and the last for not following orders.) The next day he was sent to Thayer Learning Center, a boot camp. He spent Two hundred and twenty-one days there and was released as a new person. His grades picked up and he was able to talk to people better. He even got along with his step parent. He taught himself Guitar and Piano and learned more on the Bass. He came back to his church and was placed in the sound booth with his cousin Bernardo Benitez. Now he can speak Spanish more fluently and is learning more things.
