He started out in the mid-1980s deejaying on various sound systems and even recording the occasional track under the moniker "Little Bimbo". By the first part of the 90s, his locks had grown out and he went from deejay to singer, changing his name to Garnett Silk.
Silk was born Garnett Daymon Smith (2 April, 1966) in the Brumalia district of Mandeville, Jamaica. He was taken under the wing of Rasta deejay Tony Rebel and introduced to Sugar Minott's Youthman Promotion sound system, which had a hand in recruiting many young acts who later became international stars.
Along with Rebel, Silk reintroduced Rastafarianism into a dancehall scene which by 1992 had become nearly overwrought with X-rated and violent lyrics. He burst on the scene recording many hit tunes and albums, including "Nothing Can Divide Us", "It's Growing" and "100% Silk".
Tragically a fire at his mother's house on 9 December 1994 killed both Garnett and his mother (with Garnett first escaping then giving up his own life trying to save his mother's). The Jamaican reggae scene was shocked by his death and it is a testament to his talent and his amazing voice that his music is still selling worldwide today, possibly stronger now than it did before his untimely demise.

I was only a little boy when I learned that Garnet Silk passed away. I heard the news, but at this little age I couldn't interpret many things well but hearing that he was burned trying to save is mother was something I could easily interpret is sad. I cried for Garnet during his passing. Eventual years went by and I started to find self therapy and identity through music. Eventually i found garnet music and started to grow through hard circumstances by daily dosages of silk music. Upon till college i listen Garnet daily to the point where people believe i see Garnet music as a genre.
Garnet you help me a lot. In times when I need guidance you helped. When i needed confidence you helped. Today I want to help in remembering your contribution by sharing a synopsis silksperience.
