Andrew Tosh (Carlos Andrew McIntosh)
Andrew Tosh
Andrew Tosh (born Carlos Andrew McIntosh, 19 June 1967 is a Jamaican reggae singer and the son of Peter Tosh. He is the nephew of reggae singer Bunny Wailer, also an original member of the Wailers. Andrew has a strong vocal resemblance to his late father and like his father, rides the unicycle. Tosh was exposed to the music of his father's group the Wailers from an early age, his mother, Shirley Livingston, also being the sister of Bunny Wailer and half-sister of Claudette Pearl Livingston by Cedella Booker, the mother of the Wailers' third member, Bob Marley.

Eldest son of the late Wailer Peter Tosh, Andrew made his debut at his father's funeral in 1987, wowing the mourners with his physical and vocal similarities to Peter. Two promising albums later, Andrew is looked upon as one of conscious reggae's greatest hopes. A tour with the Wailers in 1991 solidified his live reputation. With strong material, he could fill his famous father's shoes in a manner similar to that of Ziggy Marley [more] - Roger Steffens, AllMusic Guide https://www.allmusic.com/artist/andrew-tosh-mn0000037591

Ambelique was considered to be a late starter in the music business as it was generally supposed that his major breakthrough came in the mid-90s. The music’s commentators concentrated on the fact that he had been a bank clerk turned reggae singer without acknowledging his early involvement in the Jamaican music industry. In reality Ambelique began his career in the late 60s with Derrick Harriott And The Crystalites, under the guise of Ramon The Mexican [more] AllMusic Guide - https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ambelique-mn0000018603
