Navarro's long-awaited first true studio-recorded album, "Shed My Skin" was released in 2019. He has a parallel career as a voice actor and singer, in films like "The Playmobil Movie," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Deadmen Tell No Tales," "The Book of Life," "Rio," "Happy Feet," "The Lorax," and Ice Age's 2 and 3. Along with TV series "Turbo Fast," "Prison Break, "Family Guy" and "American Dad," the release said.
