In July 2015, he appeared on the series premiere of the Disney XD sitcom Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything, where he portrayed the announcer Stampy Cat at the World Gaming Championships. Garrett has also been attached to a Minecraft film. The series, Wonder Quest, is scripted, professionally produced, and designed so that it can be used in classrooms. On 25 April 2015, Garrett launched a spin-off edutainment YouTube series in collaboration with Maker Studios. Jordan Shapiro said that "he does a great job of bringing the positive aspects of Minecraft-the game’s educational potential-to the surface." Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media describes Stampy's presentation as best for younger fans and that "Stampy feels like a cross between Pee-Wee Herman and Mr. Other characters in the videos (who are referred to as Garret's "helpers") include iBallisticSquid, the YouTube name of Garrett's friend David Spencer, and Sqaishey Quack, a duck character played by Garrett's spouse, Kye Bates they became engaged in 2018 and were married the following year.

MINECRAFT STAMPYS LOVELY WORLD 20 SKIN
His avatar is a character called Stampy Cat, an anthropomorphic orange and white cat (depicted by a commercially-available Minecraft skin based on the character Fidget from the video game Dust: An Elysian Tail). When the videos became popular, Garrett left his job as a barman to focus on producing the content full-time. When he noticed that his primary audience were children (6–14-year olds), he reoriented his work to be family-friendly. The series resulted in rapid growth for his channel and he quickly became a prominent member of YouTube. He was introduced to the game Minecraft in May 2012, where he would start a "Let's Play" series based on it. He mainly played video games such as Homefront, but soon quit the stampylongnose channel and created a new one, stampylonghead. Initially, his channel consisted of live-action comedy skits he made with his friends, but he soon transitioned to the gaming genre after " Let's Play" videos began to surge in popularity on YouTube. In August 2006, Garrett created his first YouTube channel, stampylongnose. He studied video production at university and initially intended to be a game journalist.

Garrett was born in Portsmouth, United Kingdom on 13 December 1990.
