David Michael Navarro (born June 7, 1967) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, actor, and television personality. He is a member of rock band Jane’s Addiction (four studio albums) and a former member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (one album). He also released one solo album Trust No One (2001). Navarro has also been a member of the Jane’s Addiction spin-off bands, Deconstruction and The Panic Channel.
AllMusic’s Greg Prato described Navarro as “one of alternative rock’s first true guitar heroes”, with an eclectic playing style that merges heavy metal, psychedelia, and modern rock.”He’s one of the last great guitarists,” said Henry Rollins, former Black Flag singer, who saw him playing with Jane’s Addiction.
Navarro was also host and one of the judges on Ink Master, an American tattoo competition reality series that aired on Paramount Network from 2012 to 2020.
