Dave, of part-Mexican ancestry, is the son of James Raul Navarro, and Constance Colleen Hopkins – his grandparents from father’s side were Mexican immigrants. Dave went to Notre Dame High School, located in Sherman Oaks, California, during which time he was a part of the marching band, alongside his future colleague in Jane’s Addiction, Stephen Perkins.

Gradually he improved his skills, and right after high school started pursuing a career as a guitarist. Thanks to his friendship with Stephen Purkins, the drummer of Jane’s Addiction, he was invited to audition, and became a part of the alternative rock band in 1986.
