Andrew Tosh is a Jamaican reggae singer and the son of Peter Tosh. Born in 1967, he is associated with the continuation of his family’s musical tradition and is known for work that connects closely to his father’s catalogue and legacy.

Career

He first gains wider recognition with a performance at his father’s funeral in 1987. That appearance helps establish him as a performer carrying forward the Tosh name in reggae.

His recording debut comes in 1988 with Original Man, an album that includes covers of several songs by Peter Tosh. The record is later remixed and reissued in 1994 on Heartbeat Records with additional dub versions.

In 1989 he releases Make Place for the Youth, an album noted for its original compositions. The record receives favourable reviews and earns him a Grammy nomination.

Performing and collaborations

Andrew Tosh tours with Word Sound & Power in the early 1990s. He also shares many bills with his uncle, Bunny Wailer. He develops a reputation as a live performer and is regarded as part of reggae’s younger generation, alongside artists such as Ziggy Marley.

Legacy work

He continues to perform tribute concerts and tours dedicated to Peter Tosh, keeping his father’s music in circulation while maintaining his own recording and live career.
