Born June 7, 1967 to James Raul 'Mike' Navarro and Constance Colleen Hopkins. His paternal grandfather was an illegal alien from Mexico; his mother, Constance, was a model and worked on Let's Make a Deal (1963). After his parents divorced when he was seven, Dave moved with his mother to Bel Air, and lived with her until she was murdered in March 1983 by her boyfriend. Her murderer was eventually caught thanks to the help of America's Most Wanted (1988). While at a skating park, Dave heard a Jimi Hendrix song, and decided to become a professional guitar player. After stints in both Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers (during his time with the latter group, Dave caused a sensation when he smooched band mate Flea on the cover of "Guitar" magazine) and turning down offers to join Guns N' Roses, he started his own band, "Spread", and released a solo album, "Trust No One".
Michael Peter Balzary（1962年10月16日－）一位出生在澳大利亚的美国贝斯手、小号演奏家及临时演员，其艺名Flea更为人熟知。他作为另类摇滚乐队Red Hot Chili Peppers的贝斯手和组建者而出名。他在乐队中的表现融合了几种不同的音乐风格，从疾速的Slap到更柔和而旋律化的手法。除了Red Hot Chili Peppers,他还与很多艺人合作过，包括Jane's Addiction、The Mars Volta及Alanis Morissette.受疯克音乐和朋克摇滚的影响，Flea着重于纯朴而极简的贝斯演奏，视复杂化为应适度运用的技术。
