About

A UK reggae artist, born in the parish of Manchester, Jamaica, Clive Darien aka Darien Prophecy, was no stranger to music. As a child growing up in the Methodist Church, Darien started singing Sunday school Christmas plays at six years old, and went on to join the children's youth choir at ten. It was here that he developed his vocal talents, performing all over Jamaica in Gospel concerts. A pivotal point in Darien’s development came in 1994, after meeting Omar Silk and Lidjamlak – brothers of the late celebrated reggae musician Garnett Silk, who in turn had had a significant influence on the young singer. The friendship fostered between Omar, Lidjamlak, and Darien allowed his passion for music to flourish. Darien subsequently went on to perform at various talent showcases in Jamaica under the name Jah Son. It was in 1996, while jamming with the Silk Brothers, that Lidjamlak christened him ‘Prophecy’, owing to the spiritually uplifting nature of Darien’s lyrics. In 1999, Prophecy recorded his first track, ‘Baby I Want You’, but it was not until eight years later that he released his first single ‘Natural Vibes’ on Sativa Records. This followed Darien’s emigration to England and collaboration with Gordon "INNERHEART" Mulrain who was at the time touring with Desmond Dekker, Prince Buster and a range of reggae artists. Natural Vibes brought Darien recognition across Europe, America and parts of the Caribbean, staying at Number One in the Reggae France charts for several weeks and gaining abundant positive press. He toured extensively with the INNERHEART BAND, performing alongside a range of celebrated artist such as Freddie McGregor, Luciaono, Earl 16, Anthony Johnson and Dawn Penn. In conclusion, Darien thrives best with his live performances and festivals. Along with his multi faced skill set he can easily adapt to any event. Owning the stage, he takes the crowd by storm…leaving them wanting more each and every time! Darien Prophecy’s music can be found on Soundcloud and iTunes
