Garnet started writing his own lyrics and was singing/DJing from a very young age starting on the ‘Soul Remembrance‘Sound System in 1978 aged 12. His first song “Problems Everywhere” was released in 1985.

There were collaborations with other artistes like Richie Stevens, Tony Rebel and Charlie Chaplin. Garnet did many other songs and dub plates for Sound Systems worldwide which are sound killing tunes; if you can play them. Garnet also worked with a number of producers during his career.

Garnet was only 28 when he left us; but what a legacy! Garnet’s contribution to reggae and to Jamaican music is immeasurable. Garnet’s music is still widely played and inspirational today, his music and memories will live forever.
